thanks to all those who left comments about my last post!

hi all

first i'd like to thank all you guys who commented on my last post, each answer was great and gave me a different perspective on the whole issue.

now back to business: i am posting a link to wikipedia (i know i know but from what i've seen it actually does have accurate information a lot of the time!), a pie chart of the make up of different religions worldwide. of course, even if this was not from wikipedia it should be considered with some caution...i'm not sure of any way to get a 100% accurate count of who prescribes to which religions. in fact, another though i just had is that many people may feel forced to indicate they belong to a particular religion, when in fact they privately do not believe the religion. this would seem to be the social psychological effect of public compliance i think...where you publicly believe something but privately don't believe it. anyway here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Worldwide_percentage_of_Adherents_by_Religion.png
