Are atheists and agnostics a minority on Hip Forums?

just curious.

 

From what i have witnessed here i would say, no.

Many here would not call themselves atheists or agnostic.

But the name of a rose isn't what makes it bloom.

 

Agreed, I'd say it's fairly even.

I for one am a hell-bound heathen. =]

 

i am a 'would be hellbound heathen' that is if i believed in hell

 

On this particular issue, I'm agnostic. There would be no way of telling without taking a poll that most people on Hip Forums would be aware of an likely to respond to. Short of that, we're relying on our gut instincts, which aren't likely to be reliable on a matter like this. Does it matter?

 

no it doesn't matter, but then again peoples' opinions on any subject in any forum don't really matter, yet we're all here talking about all kinds of things. Like I said, I was just curious. No need to get all hot about it.

 

peoples opinions will always matter to other people, it is a survival mechanism.

we are social creatures, it is nature.

you cant have a human race without multiple human beings

 

im new here so +1 for the agnostics

 

i also wonder if there are more atheists, or agnostics, or perhaps people who are somewhere in between? as an atheist, i'm kind of tired of seeing atheists and agnostics lumped together.

 

Considering that the terms have been given different definitions, it would also be interesting to see how people who prefer one label to another define themselves. If a person says "I'm pretty certain I don't believe in God" does that make him an atheist, or does he have to believe there is not God?
