Termie22: Up to 70% of people found sitting in Christian churches week after week don't even believe in God.

Skateman: Care to back up your claim?

Termie22: Yes. It's a frequently reprinted factoid. I first saw it on Compuserve News and more recently on other news services as well.

So what your saying is that you don't have an absolute source then? Your just repeating what you may have heard someone else say (who may or may not have had anything to back it up).

Support your statement with a credible source, such as poll where you not only give us the poll results, but also give us the internals and questions the parishioners were asked as well. Perhaps than you will sound credible, but from my perspective, it is simply an attempt by the atheists to swell their stated numbers by claiming that those who go to church are atheists as well.

At best, you have your numbers EXACTLY backwards. The most recent Harris poll, for example, says that 82% of Americans believe in God.
