  1. Yes poland is very Catholic. But a decade or 2 ago it would have been way higher. Poland can into atheism!

  2. Oh thats surprising. I was pretty sure based on some old statistics that Finland is more religious than Sweden, Norway and Denmark, but with this form of the question we are less.

  3. I am a bit surprised its less than 50 % in Greece where 97 % of the population identify as Christians.

  4. I would like to believe this isn’t the end. Having been through two unexplainable experiences in recent years here at home, one of which was caught clear as day on CCTV I suspect there is more that this mortal plane.

  5. Why are Albania and Bulgaria so low?

    I’ve met Albanians who couldn’t fathom that people don’t believe in God so I assumed they would be very high.

  6. Interesting that France and Great Britain are higher than Spain and Portugal, when the later two are much more religious

  7. In Italy youth people are mostly atheist. The fact is that we are one of the oldest country in the world lmao.

  8. Every time you go to sleep you wake up again. You never go out of consciousness; eight hours always disappear as if they were nothing. This is because time is an illusion. There is only one eternal present, though you feel as if there were such things as ‘past’ and ‘future’ because the mind is formed along the course of entropy. You never began to exist; you simply always were, though at a different spatio-temporal location to other things. In fact this is all we mean techincally by time; location in the spacetime manifold. Augustine came to know this by introspection (not the entropy and spacetime manifold part of course, rather the illusion of time and the philosophy of ‘eternalism’), as you can read in Book 11 of the *Confessions*, long before Einstein established general relativity.

    You will end up somewhere else after you die, because you can’t go out of consciousness. Again, when you go to sleep, your consciousness doesn’t go out, it transfers to another point in spacetime. This also demonstrates that your consciousness is immaterial and so will persist after the death of the body. But the main point is that, as you can gather from daily experience, your consciousness never goes out of existence, in the same sense that it never came into existence. Your experience *always is,* because *only the present exists*.

    Your ancestors fought passionately over what determines one’s destination after death. But one thing is certain; you will end up somewhere.

  9. I hate maps with discrete colour scales. It suggests meaningful differences and clusters that do not exist.

    The point of a discrete colour scale is to increase contrast and make contour lines visible. This makes no sense for this kind of map because the borders already dictate a structure.
