Not true. More "non-believers" than ever and the numbers keep rising. In most western countries, being religious is the 'no longer fashionable' thing.
A ton.
How are you romantic relationships?
Wrong, being non religious is not the same thing as self identifying as an atheist/antitheist and affects polling.
Not believing in god isnt a consolidated group.
Also ive been in a great relationship for 3 years and we own our own house and run s business together.

Wrong. "No religion" is atheism.
Atheism spans anywhere from weak atheism to strong atheism.
You can also be a practicing (meaning, you do the religion thing) weak atheist.

Think namby pamby agnostic fence shitting bullshit -
Either there's good reason to think a jewish lich carpenter built the universe as his dad-self, then fills that universe with love via his ghost-self, or not.
I go or not, and i aint shy about it.
I live in a pretty boring place in MI, never heard of oinks but i love ice cream.
Ill check em out.
Depending on where you live in Michigan it might be a far drive. My family owns a cottage in South Bend, Indiana. Since Oink's is in New Buffalo it wasn't a very long drive from there and so my family used to go a lot.

^This is correct. I myself am not religious, but I'm also not an atheist.

You are. You fall under "weak atheism" which is under the broad umbrella of atheism.
You're conflating gnostic atheism with the entirety of atheism.

But as you already said, youre so much morr vastly intelligent than the average duck, so surely you understand what theory of mind is and by extension it's importance as an interpreter of statistics.
So do you think everyone polled automatically knows the nuanced semantical difference between explicit and implicit atheism?
Why do you think i mentioned the caveats i did?
If i meet someone who says theyre an atheist, but they specifically mean the god of the bible, and go on to say they believe in say the ancient astronaut theory, theyre not actually an atheist as the aliens would serve as that higher power.
If you read the article from pew i posted, youd know that agnostics and atheists and religiously unaffiliated are all categorized as different things, that's because they are different things to different people, thus the aforementioned difficulties in polling.
If you add up everyone who isnt actively practicing religion, the atheists, and the agnostics it's somewhere around 17-18 percent.
That's because saying your agnostic sounds like youre a careful thinker, whereas saying youre an atheist conjures to mind a fedora talking about how pithy chris hitchens is.

I know the point ddm is getting at, but im approching this as a layman, because laymen are the people reflected in polls.
Most people dont know what gnostic vs agnostic is, and the confusion is made greater by gnosticism relating to that 13th century idiot trimetus or whatever the hell his name is.
Youre really smart ddm, we get it.
Your graphics are really good and spending 30 k to graduate class of February from devry uni was a suuuuper good investment.

Me and my gf are gonna go thrifting, get ice cream, and make a day of it.

So this is you way of round-about admitting you're wrong as the 'a-religious', also known as atheists, continue to increase, right?

Your mask is slipping.
And it is 5 degrees, one of which is in philosophy. Brick and Mortar Uni.
Praise me.

I never said religious non affiliation wasnt increasing, i said being a self identified atheist isnt fashionable.
Even other atheists say im a cringey new stheist, as if changing the name of the classification of beliefs changes the merit the beliefs.

Damn dude. For real, good job.
What are your degrees in?
Im not trying to compare credentials, i barely graduated highschool and am autodidactic.
How did your mormonism and ineffective communication survive how ever many years of college?
