Do you know why I call you amateur Septic(sic)?

It is because you are full of sh*t

What is the relationship between religiosity and education? INCONCLUSIVE

Why is it so important to an amateur antitheism that ignorance ministers religion? To justify their feigned irreligion as an achievement


An excellent paper on this phenomena of the relationship between religiosity and education within and across denomination as well as countries

Lol.

I am sure you did a lot of cherrypicking to find a 2001 article by a little known outfit, full of anecdotal conjectures to fit your barely thought out beliefs.

Here , I present you with a more recent article by The Economist magazine based a 2014 studies.

Please read it in it's entirety, because it confirms every point I made on my post.

Education and religion
Falling away
How education makes people less religious—and less superstitious, too
Oct 11th 2014
JUST one extra year of schooling makes someone 10% less likely to attend a church, mosque or temple, pray alone or describe himself as religious, concludes a paper* published on October 6th that looks at the relationship between religiosity and the length of time spent in school. It uses changes in the compulsory school-leaving age in 11 European countries between 1960 and 1985 to tease out the impact of time spent in school on belief and practice among respondents to the European Social Survey, a long-running research project.
By comparing people of similar backgrounds who were among the first to stay on longer, the authors could be reasonably certain that the extra schooling actually caused religiosity to fall, rather than merely being correlated with the decline. During those extra years mathematics and science classes typically become more rigorous, points out Naci Mocan, one of the authors—and increased exposure to analytical thinking may weaken the tendency to believe.

Another paper, published earlier this year, showed that after Turkey increased compulsory schooling from five years to eight in 1997, women’s propensity to identify themselves as religious, cover their heads or vote for an Islamic party fell by 30-50%. (No effect was found, however, among Turkish men.) And a study published in 2011 that looked at the rise in the school-leaving age in Canadian provinces in the 1950s and 1960s found that each extra year of schooling led to a decline of four percentage points in the likelihood of identifying with a religious tradition. Longer schooling, it reckoned, explains most of the increase in non-affiliation to any religion in Canada between 1971 and 2001, from 4% of the population to 16%.
The most recent paper also showed that each extra year in the classroom led to a drop of 11 percentage points in superstitious practices, though these remain common. Two-fifths of respondents said they consulted horoscopes, and a quarter thought that lucky charms could protect them. Other research has shown that religious beliefs and practices seem to make people happier, and in some circumstances healthier and wealthier, too. But to argue that such benefits more than offset the gains from extra education would require a leap of faith.

Here is Gallup's own take on the issue.

Radoillo:


Hahaha! Why do you make it sound like I'm standing on one unsure foot, on the precipitous edge of religious belief, just waiting for a slight nudge to knock me off into the abyss of unbelief?

I didn't mean to sound that way

What I mean is when you were 17, what stopped you from becoming an atheist?

Read the NBER article. This is no magazine but a scholarly article. Hope you know the difference.

Am I the only one who noticed how long it has take to furious over work your sole underworked neuron and Google to arrest your hoof-in-mouth malady?

Religiosity and education studies are over 50 years young. There are tons of evidence for/against this which serves my point; it is INCONCLUSIVE. Am not your mother nor your hallucinatory biracial ex/wife so I won't spoon feed you, follow the extensive citations in that article and confirm what it is saying.

My friend, you are reaching the lowest levels of your depravity by making reference to my family.

I urge you to sober up and step away from that path.

Even though I get a lot of thrills from mocking religiotards like you, I don't take anything personal.

I mock you , your intellectual emptiness , simply because I need to show African youth that they can and should do better than you at thinking.

It's a thankless job, but dont drag me to the gutter, where, I assume, you're domiciled.


So, jokes apart, I am not your kindergarten mate.
Don't ever make reference to my family.

I have noticed that when some nairalanders meet a superior argument, they throw out insults to cover up their inferiority.


It's so sad

Am reading plaetton and somewhat he had to tell the entire world that he was dumped by a biracial goddess, Half English-half Carribean girl and how she was busy looking for him. Am not interested in this neanderthal's imaginary family, I just felt like reminding his this is a public forum and he should watch his proboscis

Antitheists have a field day insulting everyone and am mighty glad to return the favor as I drill some much badly needed sense into their thick heads

If anyone insults your folks, give them a written smackdown. Don't turn the other cheek because some people are hooligans and they display their crass mannerlessness and lack of proper upbringing on the Internet.

Cuss them out and their generations yet unborn if they dare insult your parents. No time for bullshit

Are you two idiots not referring to someone else, perhaps ?

Y'all need to calm the fvck down. I see nothing that warrants insults here.

Yo, we were having a debate the other day and when you started losing, you pvssied out. But when it comes to insults you're good. So either grow up or grow a pair of cojones and see a debate to the end.

Honestly I can exchange words with someone for the fun of it - just to elicit a reaction or toy with the person . But to stoop so low to start referring to one's parents is very derogatory . I dont know why exchanging words should be taken personal .

Here it is :

menesheh:





Do you need TB Joshua to tell you that am really obsessed with the imageries. Am actually is since your mum trained you to be attacking persons instead of saying meaningful things that another person can learn from.


Learn how to attack issues and ideas not the person that's propagating them.

You said nothing.


Start growing up. you really need it.

menesheh:


Small boy, your mum is the nincompoop, fool, f.uck.ed and where are those your abusive words up there located?

menesheh:


Your mum is the "Grown ass dimwit"

He got likes and shares from the same people cloudgoddess claims are the most ethical she has ever seen . Atheism is an evil religion , soon they'd start attacking you with guns and bombs asking you to denounce God
