Recently, and I mentioned this in a previous post, I heard a famous atheist (agnostic?) mention the rise of atheism, especially in America, What was his proof? The number of people responding as non-religious to a poll about the same. It caught me immediately because, as I written before, non-religiousosity and atheism are two different categories of belief. One is not holding to any specific denominational dogma, where one might still believe there is a god or gods, while the other, atheism, is just a non-belief in gods.

There’s something that always irritates me and of course it happens every day and no matter how hard I try, I can’t avoid it. This occurs on every news channel and every politically oriented podcast (even some that aren’t particularly politically oriented). You’ve heard this too, even if you never watch or listen to anything that is the slightest political. For me it’s when, especially in politically oriented media, a person uses the phrase, all Americans, or all of America. I always question how this is known.Is there a poll? Well, sometimes there’ll be a mention of a poll but I’ve never seen one where 100% of American voters, either registered or likely, agree on anything. There’s always going to be a majority of sorts, but none at 100%.
