I can't be the only non-believer who feels uncomfortable replying to the question 'Which religion do you associate with?' by answering 'Atheism'.

hm, how come they put jws on the list? is it because jws are not Christians?

Gopher

JW's are not Christians here, so they must be Jehovians. or something.

I enjoy that they're listed separately from Christians, and close by us atheists !!

No, Nic, but that shows you who actually wrote and posted the question to the website, as opposed to ensuring the wording is done accurate for all.

LOL Gopher

Madame, Thanks! Is he discussing religion tonight? I couldn't tell. I am a CNN junkie. It's all about religion this week, it seems.

No, you're not the only one. Others at Rational Response Squad have also mentioned it:

P.S. sorry about the link issues. This site is unfriendly to Firefox, and for some reason, my aol browser is very unfriendly to jwd, so I can't access the usually available buttons (for creating quotes and links); also, IE conflicts with the other browsers.

Gopher

Yes, they probably should have phrased the question with "belief system" rather than religion. Maybe that would have worked.

But it's better to be listed than to be left out. Apparently a lot of atheists agree, based on these early results (which I wish were really reflective of the American public.)

Hortensia

by the time I voted, it was christians 15% and atheists 71%.
