This is Embarrassing!

This is extremely embarrassing for those of us who live in the US!

For those of you who don’t speak German, let me do a bit of translating for you (from top to bottom, right to left):

  • Deutschland – Germany
  • Frankreich – France
  • Italien – Italy
  • Großbritannien – Great Britain
  • USA – USA
  • Mexiko – Mexico
  • Ich glaube nicht an Gott. – I don’t believe in God.
  • Ich weiß es nicht, ob es einen Gott gibt, und ich glaube nicht, dass man es herausfinden kann. – I don’t know if there’s a god and I don’t think that we can figure it out.
  • Ich glaube an keinen personalen Gott, aber an eine höhere Macht. – I don’t believe in a personal god, but in a higher power.
  • Manchmal glaube ich an Gott, manchmal nicht. – Sometimes I believe in god, sometimes not.
  • Ich habe Zweifel, aber denke, dass ich an Gott glaube. – I have doubts, but I think there is a god.
  • Ich weiß, das Gott wirklich existiert und habe keine Zweifel. – I know god exists and have no doubts.
  • Nicht sicher – Not sure

If you looks carefully at the chart, you’ll see that 70% of the people surveyed in the US chose the “I know god exists and have no doubts” answer. That’s sick and makes me want to puke a little. We are only surpassed by Mexico at 80%. Only 2% of the people surveyed in the US choose “I don’t believe in God.”
