No. Self identifying statistics are not 100 %. But when measured against thousands of other criteria (Church attendance, church records, etc.) they amount to something. The best scholars in the world (and probably no source is as well documented and researched as the WORLD CHRISTIAN ENCYCLOPEDIA) have put decades into the demographics of religion. Nothing is 100% accurate. But what you are offering is just stupid talk. And you want people to believe your stupid talk against the statistics! Good luck! Brumstone will believe you. But in the next breath he (and you) will turn around and believe the World Christian Encyclopedia because suddenly it is PERFECT!! And what, after all, should I expect from superstitious people with ZERO respect for reason????? Come to think of it...you, greg or e, and Brummy have all made your point--in spades!! So you think that the only people interested in demographics (or capable of conducting research in demographics) are "some braindead liberal social worker or shrink"??? You must be quite the intellectual yourself, eh?! worldchristiandatabase.org Clear, Comprehensive, Customized. The World Christian Database (WCD) is based on the 2600-page award-winning World Christian Encyclopedia and World Christian Trends, first published in 1982 and revised in 2001. This extensive work on World religion is now completely updated and integrated into the WCD online database. Designed for both the casual user and research scholar, information is readily available on religious activities, growth rates, religious literature, worker activity, and demographic statistics. Additional secular data is incorporated on population, health, education, and communications.
