Description
Darker countries are less religious
Nice black dot in the middle of Europe =P. I love my country so much.
lol black dot at my country as well, the one in north-east europe at border of russia :D us ftw! :D
we allready have 1.000.000.000 chinese on our side :)
and even then were outnumbered by the countless Christians (some where around 3-4 billion)
1-2 actually.
lol 3-4 would be almost half the earths population so I think Helge129 is more acurate.
but the question is how many christians do really believe like die-hard?
Only because the Chinese gov't is the worst offender when it comes to murdering Christians and anyone else who so much as dares to disagree with them. I bet you people are so proud that atheism and communism have murdered countless innocents just as Islam and Radical Catholicism and the Crusades.
Usually Communist countries don't believe in gods Thats a good thing, and a bad thing at the same time, why do capitalism countries have to be so religious?
Communism gets rid of religion, capitalism doesn't so therefore it creates a spawning ground for religious belief. It's not just that though, when people are allowed to get rich, there are many people who will become poor on the opposite side of the spectrum and will turn to God much easier for hope of an afterlife (since their life isn't very good to begin with).
Because in communism you seek truth, while in capitalism you need hope... Just joking, but it somehow fits...
Because communism decides that anyone who does not believe what the state says deserves to die.
@yuri
Not all communism is like that; there have been many variations that were taken from Marx's book. The Soviet Union's version may have been the absolute worst when it comes down to ideals and who was in charge.
The main problem though with communism is that it cannot run at first without a powerful centralized government to keep it in check.
Yes I know this. I meant "modern" communism. North Korea and China being examples of the absolute worst form.
Exactly. Communism eradicate all kind of belief so that only the state and the will of the state remains. Fascism on the other hand is just as worst but use a much more clever strategy, they impose their religion and belief.
Well, it's all about ideals.
In a capitalist society the individual is told he can do anything and is raised with the idea that he should aspire to leadership in the old traditions of society passed from monarchies and feudalism.
In a communist society the individual is one among many who work in their society simply for basic needs without aspiring to control the world as capitalists do.
It seems related in a way to feeling you have control, if God is on your side you are in control.
If your society is working together as a healthy organism with little competition, you feel in control because no one is going to stab you in the back for a loaf of bread. So no centralized feeling of control is needed, because there is less anxiety and fear of losing your power over others.
Just a bit of theorizing.
agreed and I still think if communism is controlled by the 'right' people who don't abuse power it can be a good way to live only when you have someone like thos powerhungermaniacs it is gonna be fu***d up.
@Winston's first comment:
By this definition, it seems that American "Indians" would have been considered communist, as they valued their community and natural resources far more than the idea of individual power or superiority.
That said, I think I'm starting to favor communism to capitalism - not that I ever really liked capitalism, but this isn't making me like it any more.
They were also sacrificing their own people, died much younger than their European counter part, and were technologically inferior by several centuries.
Very sad
Especially how Africa and the Middle East are completely white.
A forced reliogion that has been set upon the middle east and Africa--- Islam.
Exactly my thoughts, that's why this is no surprising that they are systematically destroying their own country trough autocratic leadership which in turn create civil war.
Islam and it's followers have been fighting and killing each other for a long time and it will not stop. Any one of them that claims to be a "moderate" is either a hypocrite for ignoring most of their book's text, or lying. I could say the same goes for Catholicism but everybody knows Catholicism is hypocracy at its finest since they added pagan practices to their belief system and ignore the large majority of the Bible.
How is it forced religion, if the system which by the Arabs spread Islam was based "you don't need to be Muslim to live with us, but your rights and duties will differ"?
Brazil...Almost nothing...
:(
No wonder the PRC is one of the poorest countries in the world...
Just remember: God/Allah/[inset name of deity here] hates the PRC!
(of course I'm not serious)
