Sixty-eight percent say they believe Jesus is God or the son of God, down from 72 percent; and 65 percent say they believe in the resurrection of Jeebus Christ, down from 70 percent.

"42 percent of adults say they believe in ghosts."
That's interesting. I didn't know Americans were that fucking stupid.
"24 percent say they believe in reincarnation, or that they were once another person."
Another surprise. I didn't know Americans were that insane.
"Forty-seven percent say they believe in Darwin's theory of evolution."
It actually worse because most of these morons who accept evolution always stick their god fairy into it, and that's bullshit.
"65 percent say they believe in the magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man, aka Jeebus Christ."
I thought it was worse but this is bad enough. 65% of American morons think their dead Jeebus became a zombie after decomposing for 3 days. That's impossible, not to mention ridiculous and disgusting.
Try to imagine a magical master of the entire fucking universe finding this middle of nowhere planet and magically performing this magic trick just for us human apes, and performing this magic 2,000 years ago when everyone thought the Earth is flat. Now try to imagine millions of American fucktards still believing in this bullshit in 2020.
They don't "believe" this nonsense. They're 100% certain their Jeebus was a zombie. It's an insanity problem and there is no cure.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
