Pew: 7 facts about atheists – with one giant glaring gap of understanding

November 13, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 5 Comments



7 facts about atheists
Here’s what we know about self-described atheists and their beliefs.

Pew has released a “7 Facts About Atheists” post which is pretty interesting about the growing numbers, their acceptance or rejection of religious roles in people’s lives, but there is one “fact” that is completely laughable. #4 states: "Although the literal definition of “atheist” is “a person who believes that God does not exist,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, 8% of those who call themselves atheists also say they believe in God or a universal spirit. Indeed, 2% say they are “absolutely certain” about the existence of God or a universal spirit."

You cannot be an atheist and believe in a god. Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods. From a- "without" + theos "a god". Claiming to be an atheist, then saying God exists means a person is simply wrong about their self-labeling or willfully lying. Making a claim you're an atheist who believes in god is like saying you're a person who thinks bald is a hair color.

Dang +Michael Q Todd's #megaball  circles are blowing up.

Dang +Michael Q Todd's #megaball  circles are blowing up. 

Reshared post from +Michael Q Todd

Hi and welcome  this is #MegaBall #2.

910 unique public shares already.  The second best of all time. Please share to be considered for next week`s #MegaBall  #5.

#MegaBall #4 is rolling now. The link is here https://plus.google.com/115818365607064275331/posts/Mi2kJoX3uEi 
THIS is going to be promoted like no other circle in Google+ history.

Look out for lots of great new followers if you have been included.
Number one was a massive success with over 430 sharers so far.
By far the most popular circle of the week on Circle Count.
#Megaball  #2 has exceeded that and by a long way. May even double it.

I really believe that this is the age of connection and that by sharing this you are contributing.
To be included in #MegaBall #3 next week you will probably have given it plus 1 and shared this circle publicly at least once. 
You will also probably have engaged in some way on some other content by me during the week. Sharing or commenting. 

I have written about the #MegaBall  here at michaelqtodd.com/megaball and will update the post during the week to record engagement on this one.
Let us make this rock. Is 1000 shares possible? I think so.

Thank you
Michael
