If you are going to be religious, just forget about logical reasoning as it's not needed

There shouldn't be any war globally considering most of the countries are one way or the other religious but na lie, na those religious countries like war pass

May be they are fighting for their blood thirsty god, who knows

One should be free to practise any religion of his choice.
However, any religion that supports taking the life of your fellow human being, all in the name of fighting for their God, should be done away with.

Such a religion reduces a human being to the level of an animal.

Meanwhile, the religion sect plaguing the world kept telling us they are the most in numbers. Meanwhile religion is meaningless without true conviction
Re: Religions By Share Of World Population by helinues: 8:10am On Nov 28, 2025
The so called religious countries are just so funny. Trump was talking about christian persecution in Nigeria when the LGTBQ in the same USA could be more than the christians

Iran, Palestine claimed to be Muslim countries but they have been engaging in terrorism

India claimed to be Hindus but they are not tolerant with other religion like Muslim

Who is deceiving who?

The very same religion is the only one that always claims it is a religion of peace but in reality they have proven to a large extent it is the opposite..

USA is a Christian state mate. They are equally dominant,and LGBT is not a religion too.

That's why they want to use knives and cutlasses to decimate the Christian population
Re: Religions By Share Of World Population by BodePolScience: 10:09am On Nov 28, 2025
All of them are the opium of the masses. The best religion/way of life is still humanity/humanism. Albeit, non-religious shouldn't be classified as a religion.

You know, you should not let a belief or sect or religion make you hate others in the name of politics...or whatever.

Y'all grumble about those of that religion, yet won't pray for them to see the light of your religion.

Ironically, you guys are sounding like fanatic adherents of that religion.

Which is wrong the fact that it cannot be a certain figure or statistics does not even cross 30% hence cannot be fact? Lol

I still prefer Religion of Violence
to Religion of Peace.

Yeah, let's all become atheists, and we will see development and peace. grin grin grin grin grin cheesy grin grin grin grin grin

Stalin was an atheist, made religion a crime, closed down all relgious institutions, and was still an evil person, who jailed and killed lots of people

In the DDR, being religious meant no higher education and active discrimination, yet the DDR was a very oppresive state.

That's why I laugh at people who think that once relgion is gone, so goes evil. Religious people are evil, yes, but so also are non-religious.

There is no religion like humanity. People are prone to hating and disliking each other, religion or no.

Christianity and Islam (occupies about 55% of global religion) came from the loins of Abraham. The Almighty God that met him is obviously a true covenant keeping God.
Re: Religions By Share Of World Population by omoredia: 10:13am On Nov 28, 2025
Billions of people worship the arab stone idol and billions more think its the true God. Reducing idol worship from many to the one major on is still idolatry.

Do your research. The devil is a deceiver

Where I stand, both muslims and christians are being decimated because both of them, and traditionalists and atheists, vote for leaders who have developed a resource dependent economy instead of an economy based on industries and innovaiton since independence.

Shekau and boko haram and fulani herdsmen arose from decades of bad goverment and government of sharing money. Governments which most of you support, even now. Emilokan is the song of all nigerians and their politicans
Re: Religions By Share Of World Population by richiemcgold: 10:16am On Nov 28, 2025
Of all the religions listed up there, Islam is spreading faster than others. If you doubt it, check a similar statistics 30 years ago. I'm not a Muslim o, before you start calling me a jihadist. I'm only saying it as it is.
Re: Religions By Share Of World Population by Sirjamo: 10:17am On Nov 28, 2025
You can see why the 3 in 1 people are panicking.
They know it's a matter of a little time before Islam takes over.

The belief in state supremacy over the individual (totalitarianism) is still a form of religion on its own. A good example is Nazism which is a kind of ethnocentric religion in Germany. An absolute monarch like Selassie (Jesus of Africa) is still being revered and worshipped till today. The thing is that it's very possible to hide under the auspices of atheism and still procreate a new kind of religion.

Yes and most muslim states are underdeveloped.

One thing to be a fast growing relgion, another to be still poor and broke and not use the intellect your god gave you.

Look if you don't have any thing sensible or reasonable to comment while tagging me, please don't tag me, because sometimes you sound like someone who is not mentally ok...
You should not allow hate to make you like those you hate.
