DISGUSTING: GLOBAL WARMING ADVOCATES JOKE ABOUT SLAUGHTERING SKEPTICS, INCLUDING CHILDREN WARNING: GRAPHIC AND DISTURBING IMAGES A satirical promotional video for the 10:10 initiative shows global warming skeptics being brutally killed at the push of a button. The sponsors have subsequently apologized and removed the video. See it here while you still can. From the 1010uk website: "With climate change becoming increasingly threatening, and decreasingly talked about in the media, we wanted to find a way to bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh. We were therefore delighted when Britain's leading comedy writer, Richard Curtis - writer of Blackadder, Four Weddings, Notting Hill and many others – agreed to write a short film for the 10:10 campaign. Many people found the resulting film extremely funny, but unfortunately some didn't and we sincerely apologise to anybody we have offended. As a result of these concerns we've taken it off our website. We won't be making any attempt to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the internet." breitbart.tv

No it wasn't basically what you said. You said ("in a nutshell") - " more one knows or thinks about religion the more likely to be an atheist" I said essentially that - "If one has changed religious views, one is more likely to know more than someone who hasn't changed (because often you would learn about options before changing), and "if one has committed religious views, one is more likely to know about those views" (while pointing out that atheist's specifically are supporters of the idea that God doesn't exist, the vague and uncertain are not counted as atheists, but they are counted for the various religious groups, making it an uneven comparison) Those are not two ways to say almost the same thing.
