no, more like "mostly atheists and christians."
With 98 votes, we have 53 Atheists + Angostics. That is a simple majority at more than 54%. We can give official minority religion status to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Satanism. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

If there was a god I'm not sure you could fool him by 'pretending'. Maybe Satan will be balls deep in you when you die now ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) .

im not an ahtiest but no i dont believe in god. Then you can call yourself an agnost. Non-religious was the more accurate term, but it is not given as an option here. So either chose from Atheist or Agnost. An atheist opposes the existence of god, so Agnost will better suit you.

Which option I fall in. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I think Atheism is the most humane religion, as there is no hatred for people belonging to other religions. You are not obliged to kill people who believe in a different god, and you don't believe that anyone who refuses to believe in your faith will go to hell once he dies. Well.. if you are not comfortable with the atheist tag, then you can always go for the Buddhist option. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

You cannot just say all religions are inhumane

Extremists are never good for any religion. No religion says to kill anyone of other faith. Actually extremists are the plague which have caused people to divert away from it. I am not saying that my religion is better in any way. All of them teach almost the same things, to lead a life of honesty with pride. I am amazed how much people hate religion even if they havent actually researched what it is all about. Listening to a single verse of gurbani gives immense joy and wisdom. Maybe we should set aside our mental walls and gain a little from every religion. Dont be an extremist, dont be a follower of any religion. Just read what every religion says and adopt what looks best in your life

They sometimes misinterpret what is written in the religious books and kill one another. So better is no religion at all.

Or, we could just stop killing each other and accept all faiths? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Sounds like the best idea to me actually!

No. This survey indicates that most of the Bitcoiners are from developed nations. And I'd say that the number of Muslims is not bad, compared to that of the Hindus and Buddhists. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Well.. there are close to 3 million Muslims each in the US and the UK. Also, there are some 1 million in Canada, 0.5 million in Australia and plenty more in other English speaking countries such as NZL and Ireland.

so 4 million muslim people in the western world.. that's barely anything, especially considering that much of those 4 million probably don't even speak english or have not assimilated.

4 million? No. There are close to 8 million in the English speaking world itself. Plus millions more in France, Germany.etc. So the total might be around 30-35 million. I don't know if you consider Turkey as a part of the Western World. If so, then the number will rise to 100 million+. Add the ex-USSR, and you'll have more than 150 million. And regarding the English skills.... 99% of the middle-aged and younger Muslims living in the English speaking world do have native or near-native skills in English, may be barring those Somalis and some of the Arabs.
