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.

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.

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!

Don't know why you are mentioning both AC and Atheism together. Don't see any relationship.

I had never heard of AC until joining 2+2. Still have never met an ACer in person.

Atheists and non-believers probably make up about 10% of the US population. Many, many of my friends, co-workers and family are Atheists.

More than 50% of some European countries are Atheists or non-believers.

No comparison IMO.

I think there is a relationship, though probably not a causal one. I'd be curious to see how many self-proclaimed ACists here are also atheists. I would guess somewhere around 90%.

Both AC and Atheism have a core belief that there is no higher authority than self.

Why are you commenting on a thread asking about something in America when you are not from America and therefore have no clue?

We have a whole thread about something wrong in Saudi Arabia...I wonder how many posters in that thread are from Saudi Arabia.

Don't know if that is true but certainly not in reverse. 90% of Atheists are not ACers.
