Christianity is essentially a criminal business enterprise… in fact, it is the world’s longest running and most successful Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scam. The product they are selling is the illusion of ’salvation’… and the ‘pay plan’ doesn’t kick in until after you’re dead. Meanwhile the victims (having been deceived into believing that it is their God-given duty) are out there busily recruiting MORE victims. What a racket! FORTUNATELY, it only works on those who are gullible enough, and sufficiently lacking in critical thinking skills, to fall for it. UNfortunately, THAT accounts for about 75% of the population of the USA. (There are a lot more people who DON’T know how to think properly than there are people who DO know how to think properly.) That is why there are a lot more religious people in the USA than there are ‘Free-thinkers’… including Atheists. Also, Christians are generally too dense to realize that proselytizing (spreading the ‘good news’) is a key element of the Christian MLM MARKETING PLAN, which was instituted after Christianity lost the political power that had previously allowed them to simply torture and kill anybody who did not comply. Now, they obliviously try to just pester and annoy people to death, through persistent obnoxiousness. If you stop to think about it, you will realize that Christians are very much like the Borg, on Star Trek Next Generation: “You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.” I would not be surprised to learn that thoughts of Christianity provided the ‘creative spark’ for the Borg concept.
Interestingly, statistics on supernatural beliefs count the USA on a par with backward, developing Third World nations, rather than among modern, advanced industrial powers.

I completely disagree with you.
Well, according to the results Christianity and Muslim shows . . . no. (I agree with you btw!)
right
This should encompass ALL theistic religions.
As I always say, I plan to start a religion, because they are the biggest money schemes going.
