I count myself as a non-theistic observer. I have never been part of any religion or read any religious works. Perhaps this is why I don't harbor the resentment many of my fellow atheists have for religion. I tend to view it from a geographer's perspective of observation and categorization. I don't feel that believing in a higher power is necessary for me.

There have been at least two threads I have spotted where this is asked and answered.

Not all atheist

Not all theist.

Not all agnostic.

Not all atheists of the same type.

Not all theists of the same type

Not all agnostics of the same type.

Statistics? No way to tell - not that many do the polls and some are not honest or comparable in applying criteria,

Main thing - can''t generalize any more than with NTs.

Yes, obviously 110% of the population is atheist. Anybody who says otherwise must be deceiving you.

I'm a I don't really know and ultimately don't careist. I think were apart of a vast, inter-dependent system and that this might be considered god-like though.

I was raised Christian but am now leaning more toward agnosticism. It basically means that I'm open-minded and approach the idea of God from a neutral standpoint, as opposed to being theist or atheist.

Still, not everyone. Ask around and I'm sure you'll find plenty of Jesus freaks on this forum waiting to preach to you. For me, though, I've still got a ways to go before I can embrace Christianity fully. It's a long story.

as i see it there are a surprising number of atheists(more than i suspected we usually the very very minority) and a large population of theists as well

i like to say we have quite a few agnostic/atheists because we can see life more clearly than the N/Ts which is what separates us

When I started to examine my faith I couldn't find a good reason why I believed what I did and I rejected every other religion. As soon as I challenged my own faith and held it to the same standard that I required from religions I was not raised in my faith failed. Every god/gods/magic/supernatural hypothesis that I looked at I had to reject.

My way of thinking led me down this path but before I challenged myself I did buy into the religious thing and I struggled with how to save all those people that I 'knew' where going to burn. I'm glad those days are over and I escaped the psychological abuse of religion. Aspergers can have an effect on our relationship to religion either in belief or in absence of belief but I can't think of reason why it would be skewed one way or the other.
