Did you know that “84% of the world's population identifies with a religious group“?

Seems like the non-religious / "non-faithed"are the loudest though.

No, I didn't know that and neither did anyone else because it isn't true. You can't just make up a statistic to try and prove your point, especially when anyone can plainly see that it's not true anyway.

I don't know how you could even suggest that the non-religous are the loudest... that's just absurd.

@Redstar I didn’t make up the 84%. Though maybe my "loudest" statement is just a matter of opinion. I suppose depending on which "side” someone is on, the opposite side will always be the most prominent.

@Really I was going through a series of articles. A couple that I found are below. Though someone above posted a Wikipedia projected size of religious affliction chart for 2023. That percentage came out to 84.9% for me, not including the unaffiliated group.

They said they got 66% but I’m not sure how. 🤔 Either way the number is larger than I thought.
