Strongly disagree should be on the far left. And what is the definition of "acceptable"?

[-] tomi000@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

The question is subjective so it means whatever the person answering it thinks it means.

[-] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah that's a bit misleading

Hmmm. I wonder what criteria was used to select the countries for this survey. Definitely interested in why certain ones are missing…

[-] coolie4@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

...and why Puerto Rico is included.

Everyone outside of America expecting Americans to place much higher on this chart:

[-] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm inside America and our placement makes me question their methods and/or how they worded the questions.

It would be nice if it were true. I just don't think it is.

I sure am surprised to see that Israel didn't appear on this list. Kinda sus.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wow nice to see my country wins another award!

I was wondering why I couldn't find Israel on the list, I suspected they would fall on to one of the extremes, then I remembered Israel isn't a real country

They accept other religions so much they are sending every cititizen of every neighbouring country to meet their God sooner.

Fuck religion, that's my opinion. I see what my Christians neighbours defend. Hipocrites.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

But srsly I wonder why they weren't included in the survey, it's kinda weird.

[-] colforge@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Based on OPs arguments elsewhere in the comments, it wouldn’t be convenient for their anti Islam narrative.

Equador is in the middle. Again?

[-] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

Everything adds up to 100%… but since atheism isn’t a religion, how was that handled? Were only religious people interviewed?

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe atheism was also considered a religion for this purpose, as people definitely can think 'everyone must be atheists' or 'everyone can do as they please'

Atheists could have a spectrum as well. There are atheists that don't give a shit what sky daddy you talk to when you are scared and others that think that all religious people are irredeemable morons that should be castrated so the ignorance of religion can't be spread further.

[-] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

My comment wasn’t philosophical, I just wanted to know how the data was obtained.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 3 weeks ago

I will weird seeing my country do well on anything even mildly progressive.

Please nuke us, we don't deserve redemption.

Do the 18% of Japanese who agree mean Buddhism or Shintō?

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago
[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Most Japanese believe in a mix of both.

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Very proud that UK is right near the bottom of this list, but feels wild that its "only 90%".

I wonder how many people were actuallt surveyed, nobody asked me.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not religious, but if I was, I'd be in the "Strongly agree" category. It's the only one that makes sense, no? Who would believe in their religion 100% but think that other religions are also fine? It's like saying you believe in science but astrology is also acceptable.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 14 points 3 weeks ago

You're not gonna believe this but millions of people believe in science and also love astrology 😅

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 11 points 3 weeks ago

Luckily I'm a Virgo so I don't do stupid things like that

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I don't think most religions don't really argue about other people's faith to much. Christianity has the parable of the good Samaritan, for instance.

Also early Islam was really tolerant of people of other faith. The problem arises mainly when faith gets incorporated in nationalism. You see that in the data too, countries that have religion tied to the national ideal are most intolerant.

[-] tomi000@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Why would it not be acceptable to let others believe in different things than you do? Just because you believe in something and are convinced what the other person believes in is wrong, that doesnt mean you cant accept them believing in it.

Not every religious person is 100% religious. How can you be 100% sure something like a god (or gods) doesn't exist? How would you know? In the grand scheme of things, you are nigh imperceptible. Whether you live or die, are happy or sad, might not matter in the slightest. There are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on this planet.

Claiming to know a god doesn't exist is as laughable as claiming a god does exist. Accepting that one doesn't know everything is not a sign of weakness, lack of belief, or mental fortitude, it's a realistic way of approaching the world.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago

Fair point but I think if I was religious I'd throw myself into it 100%. I'm not gonna half-arse my way into heaven, they'd see through that!

That's about right for Mexico. I would always think that place was the worst in terms of free thinking... Yet I am corrected. Mexico is pretty bad, but there are way worse places. But there you see how the US still shines bright. There may be a lot of religious zealots, but the majority is accepting of other people's beliefs.
