Well, even the 6% reporting as atheist, when the atheist Web sites were just starting to jigger things, was pretty damned good. I'm guessing that might roughly indicate somewhere around 10 to 15 million atheists in the US.
I like the fact that we atheists have the power to organize something like that voting. After all, the "jiggering" was just vote casting, not a Diebold-type voting fraud. We got out the votes, the theists didn't. There's a lesson there, as we just begin to throw our numbers around. It's a heady feeling.
And yes, the categories were totally silly. Must'a been written by a summer intern who was stoned at the time.

Odd: Percentage-wise, Atheism and Judaism are down, but nothing's up. Are people losing faith and even their faithlessness?
Which religion do you associate with?
Christianity 14% 3276
Judaism 3% 797
Islam 1% 328
Buddhism 1% 125
Hinduism 0% 80
Jehovah's Witnesses 1% 181
Atheism 71% 16231
Agnostic 3% 761
I am spiritual, but of no religion 3% 732
Mine's not listed 1% 286
Total Votes: 22797

Rounding errors, Half. Add up the percentages you quoted, and you get 98%.
As of almost 21:00 here on the East coast, and Christianity has bumped back up to 15%. |

Seems like the atheist zeal for skewing the poll is dropping, allowing the Christians to catch up, a little. |

Not much, though. They Christies must not be very well organized, eh?

More likely its one guy running a script to spam the poll.

| 71% atheists? This is probably the devil's work. Let's pray. |

This is not a scientific poll.
