Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

Hi -

Least Religious
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/04/14/map-these-are-the-worlds-least-religious-countries/

Chart and more information

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/7-charts-that-reveal-religions-role-around-the-world-10170978.html

### 

I did a brief research of some information and learned the content below.

In order of RANK, these countries have the LOWEST crime rates:

1. Switzerland -- ALSO has a large number of atheists
2. Singapore
3. Hong Kong -- ALSO has a large number of atheists
4. Bahrain

5. Luxembourg
6. Japan -- ALSO has a large number of atheists
7. Ireland -- ALSO has a large number of atheists
8. Iceland
9. Denmark -- ALSO has a large number of atheists
10. Cyprus

In order of RANK, these countries have the HIGHEST crime rates:

1. USA -- Damn, we’re number 1 on the list! -- and 75% claim to be Christians.
2. Germany -- MAJORITY are religious
3. France --MAJORITY are religious
4. Russian Federation
5. Italy -- MAJORITY are religious
6. Canada --MAJORITY are religious
7. Chile -- MAJORITY are religious
8. Poland -- MAJORITY are religious
9. Spain -- MAJORITY are religious
10. Netherlands

Note that some countries with large numbers of atheists have the lowest crime rates. Some countries with MAJORITY religious folks have the highest crimes rates.  What can be concluded from that information?

###

 - China is the most ATHEIST country.  Japan is the second least religious.  We get HUGE amounts of products from China -- and Japan produces some of the BEST cars, electronics, etc.   
What conclusions can be drawn that some of the most and best comes from two of the MOST atheist countries in the world?

- Denmark and Sweden are among the least religious of the world.

- Also, Israel has a large number of atheists.

Note: I realize that there are different levels/sorts of religions, including Christianity.  Some folks are sincere/fervent, and some are simply labeled with little or no fruits to support their religious claims, etc. But this ain’t that deep -- but it does make for some pondering . . . for those folks inclined . . .   

Note: I found the above information by doing a Google search.  Some of the information may have been updated since being posted on the web.  But the above gives sufficient information to address my points/questions.
