Ipsos global poll: Two in three Australians think religion does more harm than good in the world
http://www.smh.com.au/national/ipsos-global-poll-two-in-three-australians-think-religion-does-more-harm-than-good-in-the-world-20171011-gyz7ii.html A bigger share of Australians than respondents in most other countries think religion does more harm than good in the world, new polling has revealed. The survey of more than 17,000 people across 23 countries by polling firm Ipsos found opinion is evenly divided about the influence that religion has in society. It showed 49 per cent of respondents across all countries agreed with the statement "religion does more harm in the world than good". But the proportion of Australians agreeing with that statement was well above the international average at 63 per cent. "Australia is one of the more negative countries regarding the perceived harm that religion does," David Elliott from the Ipsos Social Research Institute said. |

Why didn't they ask these questions in Saud or Pakistan, or any of the other countries central to Islam where the worst effects of religion are felt?
Tentative answer: Because they would have their tongues cut out for asking it. |

Well either Australians are getting dumber and that is indeed possible or they are referring to a particular religion eh.

Read the article. No specific religions were mentioned. The questions were: "To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements about religion?" "Religion does more harm in the world than good?" "I am completely comfortable being around people who have different religious beliefs than me." "My religion defines me as a person" |
