Nope. The phrasing's a bit weird, but if you look at it carefully it works out just like I said.

You're wrong.
Josh is right.
The semi-colons indicate a continuous thought, LP. Each part of the sentence refers to people not believing in God.
Better phrasing:Yep, the study was about lack of any belief, not specifically Christian belief. I can't believe you guys tried to debate this given the Japan number.Quote:
Comfort and Cameron co-published The Evidence Bible and they have an online Bible School with more than 8,500 students. Both the Bible and the school train Christians on how to prove the existence of God and how to refute the theory of evolution. According to recent polls 12% of Americans do not have a belief in a Higher Power, up from 8% in 1987 (that group includes agnostics). In Europe the rise of atheism and agnosticism is stunning, where according to a Zukerman study, in Sweden as many as 85% of the population are non-believers, Japan 65%, France 54% and in Britain 44% do not believe in God.
Nobody cares about Japan.
Then, grammatically, they should not add, "do not believe in God," to the end of the sentence.Quote:

It's called "being religious." It happens a lot.
I tried to find a press release or something about the study itself, but according to the Google, it seems to only exist in the context of this story.
