Bravo! You can read the words of the chart you posted. We all ARE impressed.

 

If you bothered to read the chart, you would see it says:

"% who consider religion very important"

not

"BADlogic claims everyone is religious whether they admit it or not"

Everyone should agree with you. Consider...

Think about life. Think about one living cell. How many atoms and molecules are in one living cell?

If all these atoms in a non-living, inanimate form had to come together in just the right way to form a living cell, what are the odds against it ever happening... especially if there was no life around at all? The odds against this happening are so great as to render it impossible.

But, let's imagine that it happened. Let's say that all the atoms and molecules of a simple living cell happened, by chance, to come together, in just the right places with relation to each other, to form what a living cell would be like if it existed. It still wouldn't be alive.

Next, the inanimate atoms and molecules would have to be "kick-started" into motion, all at the same time, and in just the right way, for life to exist. The odds against this happening are so great, as well, as to be literally impossible.

But let's say that both of the impossible things happened. The atoms and molecules lined up, and were somehow kick-started into motion in just the right way to form a living cell. Then what would happen? Nature and the chemicals around this new living cell would immediately destroy the life. The odds that the life would not be destroyed by nature around it are so greatly in favor of the destruction, that the life would absolutely and certainly be destroyed. It is impossible that the life would keep on living.

However, if the living cell somehow kept on living, then the cell would have to gain a whole bunch of extra molecules and atoms in just the right places and at just the right times, and with just the right motions for this cell to divide, thereby forming reproduction. The odds against this happening would be so great that it would be impossible. The cell would die of old age, or of chemical actions in nature surrounding it.

The story of Evolution is a story that says that these impossible-to-happen things happened. Evolution is impossible over and over and over again. Life in nature, through Evolution, is so extremely impossible that there isn't even a hint of a chance that it could happen. Why in the world would anyone believe in evolution science fiction?

Now, some will say that this is abiogenesis, not evolution. But the fact is that their evolution would be a lot more impossible because it would include random changes in far more atoms and molecules, making the odds against their evolution even greater than the odds against abiogenesis, as expressed above.

In addition, nobody has ever found anything that is pure random. Everything operates by cause and effect. Whatever exists and changes does so according to the laws of cause and effect, which exsit all around us all the time.

Evolution is foolishness. The ignorant are caught by it. Scientists and universities are getting rich by spreading their science fiction evolution.

Scientists and universities have an evolution religion going for themselves. And they don't ask for donations. Rather, they scam students by making them pay to learn evolution stupidity. Then, when the students fail in their loan payments, Government covers it, and we all pay through taxes. Evolution is the religion that is scamming us all!

I don't remember Darwin taking money from people.  Religions scam people EVERY fucking day.  24/7.  Talk about scam!!!

Religions don't take money from anyone. People donate. People donate to God through their religion. God will repay them endlessly in Heaven.

Neither did Jesus. But He spoke The Truth unlike the scammer-darwin or political mainstream money making scam-religion of today.

* Interesting To Know that Religion is unique to only human. Better still Animals are not religious.
Put this 👆in your thinking pipe and smoke it

It is easier to fall for a religious cult if you are uneducated.  I'm not saying that educated people cannot be conned.  There are plenty of those too.

The higher your education the lesser chances that you'll fall for this con.

It is easier for educated people to leave their religion.  

It is almost impossible for uneducated people to leave their religion.  They have no point of reference other than their God concept.

It's very weird how some people can still believe in evolution-religion started by one scammer "prophet" some 150 years ago.

A picture is worth a thousand words... here's 2

I agree

I asked the same question many times and the people's response was always the same: Have peace of mind

well if religion was instilled in you when you were very young it will be hard to remove yourself from what you've been believing for a long time. i agree that sometimes, it would be better to ask questions and look for proofs and i think at this age, more people are doing the same. it's just that for most religious people, it's not about logic, nor reason, but about faith.

is not otherwise? why people do not believe in religion? Religion is the source of everything. Sources of law, the source of knowledge, the source of morality. Everything we do is in law on religion, all of which we know exists and is derived from the science of religion, all we do there are rules in religion. So why people do not believe in religion?

Because there is too many mysteries that remains unrevealed, we people believe what we see, but sometimes we believe what did our ancestors sayings and beliefs. We normally can't get things like after life, existence of other creature, and the last thing that have been in people's mind is the unusual drawings of our ancestors.

Because they are uneducated.

This is something that is so far from the truth it's possible disgusting in nature when you go ahead and think about it. Look at it like this, the world really isn't a wonderful place and people need something to look forward to / to believe in.

People need to feel their is reason behind everything that occurs in their day to day lives which are usually rather shitty, for most people. A good amount of both uneducated people and educated people believe in religion.

In my opinion, religion is the reason that why we understand each other.
Our world have a many religion but they're all saying thats have a God that create the world.

The big part of this answer is, because people don't know the future at all, even one second into the future.

The earth is reasonably stable. Is seems that this and that will happen. But we don't know for sure. If we did, we would always be able to avoid things like car crashes, Fukushima, train and plane crashes, and almost everything else that goes wrong and harms a person. People, therefore, look for something to give them peace. It's religion.

There are many religious people on earth. Even the vast majority of the world believes in monotheistic religions.
And often they do not question belief systems. There are many people who have Christian, Muslim and Jewish beliefs.

Why do they still believe in religion. I can not understand why people believe in religions in the age when we can reach the information so quickly.
