AC in America

[soon2bepro]

How powerful do you think the AC movement is in America (USA)? And do you see it as gaining popularity or losing it in the near future?

Also, how do these figures compare to the atheist movement in America? And is there a relationship between the two movements? If so, what is it?

If you don't know it's ok to answer what you think the figures are like.

Please also state roughly where you think you stand in all this (IE you're a AC and an atheist, an AC and a christian, a republican and christian, or what).

Also, if anyone cares to answer, what do these figures look like in other parts of the world?

I think 98% of the population isn't aware there is an AC movement in America...I don't even think there is one. Umm, as a result, it can only gain popularity.

Atheist movement in America is much different, in that A) it exists, and B) most people know about it. No, I don't think there is a relationship here between AC and atheist.

I'm not an ACist, but I do believe in minimal government and the Constitution. I'm not an Atheist, but I am agnostic.

You forget that there's new people being born, and new people growing up and making their minds on areas such as these.

Also, some ACers could be giving up on the AC idea.

That's sort of like a horny teenager giving up on the banging chics idea.

More like a horny teenager giving up on banging Cindy Crawford and finding something less "ideal" to bang.

Except that the Cindy Crawford/reach for unattainable ideals thing applies way more to statism than to AC. Cute try though.

Welcome back btw, I was wondering why the politics forum had been so much less annoying lately. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Just because you find something less "ideal" to bang doesn't mean you ever give up hope!

Great and correct post Taso. AC is so marginal that it is somehow funny, specially when the acolytes come out with their usually unfounded fervor! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, that is funny, for anyone that sees politics from the outside, without blinkers!

[Taso]

Well, I'd also add that 98% of the population is rather stupid.

Now I'm not claiming only the 2% are people who know what ACism is. There's some overlap between them and the stupid ones.
