It's very clear that you have an impressionable mind and you base most of your opinions off of youtube videos.
The night fades with a breath of sunshine.
Desperate for members? The churches in my community are, they are telling kids to follow 3 steps:
1. Pray at lunch
2. Bring your Bible to school and keep it visible at all times
3. Learn how to logically avoid atheism
All failing of course, when I see this occurring it makes Christianity even more of a laughing stock. I don't go around my school trying to convert people through peer pressure, but it just shows me that in America is leaning more towards Atheism in more intelligent people. I give organized religion 300 years.
When I tell people I'm an atheist they look offending. I just glaze my eyes over and stare at them until they say something, which, in most cases, is them trying to convert me. At which point I refute every point they make. Sometimes they tell me to stop, even though they started it. Hypocrites.
It's clear that most children have impressionable minds, which is why it is so easy to convert them up until they are about 18. We're born atheists.

Christians : Orthodox christians(the un-edited ones,the one that didn't become from a sect,but catholics emerged from them),Catholic christians (the partly edited ones) and protestants ( the seriously edited ones that emerged from the catholics with a zillion sects mostly in the US,that in their majority are so stupid and have so many mistakes about faith that you laugh at them) and some other heretics/sects whatever not worth mentioning
"Christians" must be two billion.However,we should count only the Orthodoxs,the Catholics and the Protestants that are not part of another fail-sect at the USA.so in that way,we'd be around 1.4 billion.
you muslims are about 1.5 billion
without the extremists,can't be more than 20...million :P
Yeah....
Cat is a different person dude.get over it.
They are all from the same branch:
For statistical purposes: Groups which self-identify as part of Christianity include (but are not limited to): African Independent Churches (AICs), the Aglipayan Church, Amish, Anglicans, Armenian Apostolic, Assemblies of God; Baptists, Calvary Chapel, Catholics, Christadelphians, Christian Science, the Community of Christ, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Mormons"), Coptic Christians, Eastern Orthodox churches, Ethiopian Orthodox, Evangelicals, Iglesia ni Cristo, Jehovah's Witnesses, the Local Church, Lutherans, Methodists, Monophysites, Nestorians, the New Apostolic Church, Pentecostals, Plymouth Brethren, Presbyterians, the Salvation Army, Seventh-Day Adventists, Shakers, Stone-Campbell churches (Disciples of Christ; Churches of Christ; the "Christian Church and Churches of Christ"; the International Church of Christ); Uniate churches, United Church of Christ/Congregationalists, the Unity Church, Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, Vineyard churches and others. These groups exhibit varying degrees of similarity, cooporation, communion, etc. with other groups. None are known to consider all other Chrisian sub-groups to be equally valid. David Barrett, an Evangelical Christian who is the compiler of religion statistics for the Encyclopedia Britannica and the World Christian Encyclopedia, includes all of the groups listed above in the worldwide statistics for Christianity.
Christianity: 2.1 billion
Islam: 1.5 billion
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion
Hinduism: 900 million
Chinese traditional religion: 394 million
Buddhism: 376 million
primal-indigenous: 300 million
African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million
Sikhism: 23 million
Juche: 19 million
Spiritism: 15 million
Judaism: 14 million
Baha'i: 7 million
Jainism: 4.2 million
Shinto: 4 million
Cao Dai: 4 million
Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million
Tenrikyo: 2 million
Neo-Paganism: 1 million
Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
Rastafarianism: 600 thousand
Scientology: 500 thousand
According to the chart, Christianity makes up of 33% of the world population while Muslim makes up of 22%. Judaism (yay..) makes up at last place with only 0.22% of the world's population.
Also Para screw himself over, because there is more than one branches in Islam, so if you take away the branches too in Islam, you get a much smaller population like that of Christians.
