If Jesus came back today the moral majority would skin him alive.

So we now know the religious demographics of the people who visit Larry King's website, so what?

He was pointing out the strong majority of atheists.

Yes, you were.

Or that is at least what everyone took it as unless something really big flew over my head.

As I have stated a thread, once posted, is not about the poster, it is the Celler's, for all and is a thing of it's own.
I do find that aspect interesting, as I do other aspects of it.
I was very surprised by the small percentage of the spiritual but not religious number as well as christian percentage.
I very rarely post a thread hoping just to garner a one-sided discussion... there is no point in that.

The others are only small because the atheist is so big, which was the result of a bunch of atheist-friendly (including Pharyngula, where I saw it) websites passing the link around for fun. You can (and I did) even vote multiple times without even clearing your cookies. It's sorta funny, especially if Larry mentioned it on his show, but it's not indicative of anything much.
