You know why your post is so funny although I don't know if you are included but so many of your type of christians including your comrade butterflyleo has been proclaiming that christianity is not a religion but a lifestyle, however when it comes to statistices you start boasting that christianity is popular even in the western nations. I am not arguing against the statistics but the fact remains that these countries we are talking of are not religious in terms of the influence of religion on their lifestyle, look at me for instance,my National Identity card says I'm a Christian and in as much as I am still under my parents I will officially identify as such but of course I'm an atheist.
Likewise in western countries like Denmark,religion is more like a tradition or culture,people identify as Christians but we know that they are not into religion
Do you know several Christians like myself also identify as irreligious because Christianity is not a religion?

China has a christian population of more than 1,349,585,838, U.S.A (316, 668,567), Nigeria (174,507,539), Russia (142,500,482), Japan (127,253,075).


But no, Nigeria is regressing because of the number of Christians abi
What is this nonsense? How many christians are there in China? China has a christian population of more than 1 billion people? You are a mad liar.

Animal!!!

After I disproved your bullshit you resort to story telling, same thing dalaman does grin

How can you say Religion depends on how advanced a country is? Are you normal?

Before I reply you let me ask if dalaman or TayserMahiri agrees with you grin
In fact its not just advancement. Even education level attainment and IQ grin Both are inversely proportional to religious belief. Even in those Muslim countries that are more advanced such as the Emirates its just that religion is forced on them by a sword. Dare to leave it and die. If their stupid laws became less stringent people would quickly and gladly peal the fake religion skin and reveal their true selves. So yeah, people are less likely to be religious if they come from developed countries. And thats because their social welfare replaces God very effectively, except the US. In poor countries people need God to fool themselves when things get thick, which they do almost every day grin

winner01 not like I am trying to be manipulative but if I were you I would not use those statistics. It is better for you guys that there are just I million christians on earth who are committed to the faith than there are 3 billion christians and over 90% of them barely read the bible up to twice monthly,in western countries like I said people identify with religion because it is part of their culture but even it at that people still muster courage to reject it,it barely affects how they live their lives and this reflects on everything you see in such countries,from their acceptance to certain ways of life condemned in the bible me to their attitude towards religious matters in general

Religious zealots lie without flinching. China has a total population of 1.3 billion so you are saying virtually everyone is a christian in China. Truth is, less than 100 million are christians in china (less than 4 %).

Considering that most sources of the number of Christians in China are perverted (even Wikipedia) because of the Chinese government, the source below is inaccurate. Christianity has risen astronomically in China and this has forced the chinese government to crack down seriously on Christianity. Check one of my threads for source grin

So who fold their arms, those who are making things work in this world are religious. The fact that the western world is not as spiritual as Africa does not prove anything. Africa has always been spiritual, this is why we were defeated by colonial masters in the first place.

Your problem in Africa is your mentality, not religion. Humanity has always been religious.

The reasons vary but mostly it has to do with the American social welfare system which is the worst of all developed nations. If you are poor in the US you are almost as vulnerable almost as in a poor country. Also, the migrant populations keep religion strong in America for many reasons, among them because they dont want to be deported. Remember most of them are from poor countries and are susceptible in the capitalist system of America.

Pettiness.

Do you have basic statistical knowledge? This is the point: The more educated, the less likely to be religious and vice versa. The less educated, the more likely to be religious. Does not mean everyone in one of those groups falls strictly to that other group.

So, if you are highly educated and religious, you are the outlier, and if you are poorly educated and an atheist, you are the outlier.

China is ranked first in social welfare program but yet Christianity is surging there so what then would be your next excuse?

America is ranked 19th out of 44 which is not a bad position and last time I checked, even people from other developed countries still favour going to america.

Smh Christians on their own say Christianity is a lifestyle. Statisticians are the ones who need to give a name to it so they can properly classify them so they say its a religion.

Even a dummy would know that you calling Christianity a religion when you are not one is silly in the light of me who happens to be a christian with first hand experience of it saying it is not.

Should I believe second hand or first hand information?

The USA does NOT have more number of christians than Nigeria. You are a double faced hypocrite. Just on the other thread you were insisting that christains are people who are Christ-like. Americans are NOT Christ like. They identify with the religion but they don't practice it or believe in it. Just take for instance majority of the people in the USA believe in evolution(about 51%) and not creationism. They believe in the right to bear arms (which is totally unchristlike ) Jesus advocated for a very silly form of pacifism, turn the other cheek nonsense that no christian abides by.

Majority believe in gay rights etc. Tell me is that being Christ like?

There is a total separation of church and state in the US. God doesn't mean much to them, their institutions have no place for religion like in Nigeria.
