facts and figures on beliefs

[asto5]

reading the question about "how old is god" made me wondered how many people actually believed in "god"! does anybody know of anywhere where you can get statistics like these? also the percentage of people who don't believe in "god"! when i say "god" i mean christianity, but also other religions.

sorry if anyone was offended by the use of " " around "god", its just that i dont believe!

sorry folks.... that was supposed to go in the body and soul category!!

pretty sure i asked it to go there, but what ya gunna do!

Intrestingly - in the last census I think you will find there were more 'Jedis' in England than there were Jews.

 

This was due to a University prank that hit the Daily papers (and being the sad person I am - I also put Jedi as did my wife).

 

Point is though - this goes to show how statistics can be totally useless.
