@Flexicon,

Firstly, you're quite misinformed if you think that it's most Americans. The majority of Americans (North America, Central and South) are theists.

Secondly there are no more quanitity of atheists in the Americas than there are in other parts of the world.

So you base this solely on who you have met?

You might want to do a little research.

I find it hard to understand why so many believe that one does exist when there is nothing substantial to base the belief on. I mean why don't you believe in flying pink elephants? You know they actually keep airplanes and birds in the air? If they didn't exist, planes wouldn't be able to fly, or birds for that matter.

So why don't you believe in the flying pink elephant?

Yeah, reading that compendium of Near Eastern mythology will turn anyone into an atheist unless they've had it caredully explained to them that it's basic allegory, not history or even valid theology.

But, as far as "most" Americans not believing, the statistics show that more people in North America are theists than in any other 1st world industrialized country. Most Europeans thinks we're a bunch of superstitious yokels. (They ain't too far off in that assessment, actually.)
