[Hoot Gibson]

Do you just make stuff up in your head and call it fact? It's widely know that religion is on the decline.

First, the graph does not identify the population that was surveyed. Was it a poll of Americans, developed nations, or global in scope? Because of the low percentages shown for the "Other" category, I am going to assume that it was a survey of Americans only.

According to the chart that you posted, there were nearly 133 million Americans (minus children too young to have been polled) who professed belief in God in 1948. That number had grown to 234 million in 2008. Major League Baseball would have loved to have seen that kind of "decline" in popularity over the same time period.

Widemiddle obviously cannot spell, but his understanding of math and logic are spot on. What he said about more people turning to religion is correct and yet you asked, "Do you just make stuff up in your head and call it fact?"

You should have asked that question of yourself before you posted a chart supporting Widemiddle's claim. The fact that you posted such a chart suggests that you either did not understand his post or that you did not understand your chart. Either way, it is always better to think twice and post once.
