Why do people choose to believe in a deity

Are you athiest

Yes

no

What closest represents your beliefs

There is no possible way of knowing, therefore it is ridiculous to assume belief of any possible beliefs

I know there isn't a god because I have listened to religious people argue their beliefs

I believe in a power that set things into motion, beyond our understanding and separate from religious belief

I believe in a religious god and assume I am correct based on a book from 2000 years ago

I believe in a religious god because people influenced me into believing it is correct.

What do you think is the reason of the direct correlation between intelligence and lack of religiosity.

Religious people are easily convinced of something without proof, making them inherently less intelligent and less likely to question idea's

Intelligent people are likely to pursue Tertiary education, broadening their views and interaction with other intelligent people who are more likely athiest

Im religious and I'm having trouble understanding these hard words.. You douche.

Coincidence

Dude, they believe in talking snakes and that the world is 6000 years old. kids in elementary school have better sense then them.

Why do you think people believe in religion

their parents indoctrinated them

They're the unintelligent portion of the planet

people around them influenced them

What is the best approach to dealing with someone who's religious

Tell them your religious

Tell them your athiest and take no action

Argue with them over why religion is wrong

Ignore the subject

Just take em out back and hang them.

How long until religion is extinct except in small pockets of humanity (if we can survive before they destroy the planet)

1-30 years

30-90 years

90-160 years

160-300 years

300-1000 years

1000-10,000 years

10,000- till some date

Never, stupid people will always be stupid.
