Modoc Rail Academy Vs. National Academy Of Railroad Sciences?

If atheists/agnostics left the US they'd lose 93% of National Academy of Sciences & 1% of prison population. What do you think of this?

  • This is from a Ricky Gervais tweet but his numbers on the Academy are correct. 93% of members of the national academy of sciences atheists http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism#Distribution

  • Answer:

    I don't know about the veracity of the claims, I'd have to do more research to find out; but I do find it ironic that in the US it's close to political suicide to admit to being an atheist. In Australia we see things quite differently, on the whole. If someone is strongly religious, we would not want that to interfere with, or unduly influence their political decisions.

Fine with me if it's true Wyn and if it's a lie then it isn't fine. Otherwise? It doesn't impact me at all one way or the other. It's an interesting bit of information with which I will do nothing. Happy Tuesday! :)

Sounds logical.

I'm thinking the reason would be that the prison population is much less educated.
