Atheists do not believe in any god. Those who self-identified as atheists for this survey do not understand what atheism is.

I also question that 92 percent of Americans believe in God. The atheist population is between about 14 and 17 percent of Americans.

Perhaps those idiotic twenty-one percent skewed the numbers.

This is concerning to me, as people look to the Pew Report for accurate information. A survey that comes up with these numbers cannot be correct.
