      What’s a Street Epistemology talk without the epistemology? It’s just a nice talk.

      What’s a Karate tournament without belt ranks and uniforms? It’s just a fight. Good analogy, bad analogy?

      What would you call a cake without sugar and butter?

      If a cake baker at a cake shop made a sugarless, butterless 🎂 , is it a cake?

      This baker also wrote a book: “A manual for creating cakes.”

      Well, we’d have to draw a line in the flour. When a baker leaves out _____, he ceases baking. Is the blank ingredient(s) or technique?

      If I whip together a bunch of ingredients in a bolw and then leave the bowl on the counter to spoil, am I baking?

      You know, 8% of people who identify as atheists who replied to a a PEW survey in 2014 (I think) said that they believe in a God. Are they really atheists?

      No. People are very confused. In the UK, 51% say they are Christians but only half that number said they believed in God in another big survey.

          I’d take no issue with that, specifically. Cultural Christians are Christians even if they don’t believe in a god. Usually on these polls folks only get one choice. So, despite them picking Christian, they may still be atheist.

          I don't either. The question actually asks 'What religion are you even if not practising it.' They are cultural Christians. The RDFRS inquired of them if they believed in God, if they believed Jesus was son of God, if they got their morality from religion etc & numbers dropped

          Replying to @HPluckrose @iDanSimpson and

          It matters because we still have the Church of England in government and they use those figures to claim that the majority shares their values even tho surveys say they don't.
