I learned you care enough to not only cause a heavy bias in a pole, but to track the progress of that pole quite frequently through a day (since I only saw it go from ~10% atheist to 71%).

Again we see that those who participate the most appear to be the majority, even if they are merely the nosiest (or the most script happy … ) .
This is why many political experts argue that the less popular one’s own opinion, the more important it is to participate in polls, surveys, communities, and so on.
Never trust statistics (unless they support your argument).

I wouldn’t say to never trust statistics. Statistics can be informative as long as the data wasn’t gathered in an idiotic way, and the sample pool was truly random.
What we can learn here is to never trust internet polls.
I learnt that Jehovah’s Witnesses aren’t Christians. I’m glad someone corrected me on that because I always thought that they were. Also there are only 83 Hindus in America.

I learned that there is a non-christian sect called “Jehova?s Witnesses”, and that it is important not to confuse them with the more well-known Jehova’s Witnesses.

I grew up a Jehovah’s Witness I certainly didn’t feel like a Christian. You can see why I am a Atheist.

I learnt that Atheists are good at scripting. That CAN’T be a legit survey result, can it? o.O

Unlike national elections, this time my vote counted.

I learned that it’s quite easy to get atheists to organize over something that’s insignificant (like a freeping a poll), but impossible to get them to stop bickering long enough to do something meaningful (like exploding the closet and being publicly non-theistic).
I’m thinking it’s time that one of us run for president now… QUICK… before we’re no longer the majority!

Well on Dawkins board, it gave a closet atheist the courage to come out of the closet. 😆 I had to say, “Oh, um… about that Larry King Poll. Hemant Mehta helped with that. He got everyone on his blog to “skew” the vote. So that along with whoever else voted helped with that.” 😆 I hope I didn’t cause his courage to go down. 🙁 Poor guy. He should never trust statistics.
