1500 is statistically significant.

Oh sigh.....now we've got someone pretending to REALLY know statistics.

GIVEN A POPULATION OF OVER 64 MILLION PEOPLE ....1500 PEOPLE IS NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.

Roll Eyes

Might go and check my washing machine now.

Angry

When I come back, I expect to read something intelligent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

It really comes down to how the study was conducted. But yes 1500 people could be used to determine 64 million.

It won't be as good as 3000 people, or 3 million people, but you can still use it to determine the statistical significance. Just the confidence level will be lower.

Thank you for googling that information. I trust it helped YOU.

Just so you know I'm still not happy with the fact that only 1500 people were asked out of a possible 64 000 000.

In fact I'm Sad

People I guess don't need fear of an afterlife to make them do the right thing anymore.

I'm not sure thats right.
i find buddhists and christians far less "fearful" then secular people.
You need a direction in life and you need a "personal philosophy"
It doesnt probably matter in the long run which direction you take, but if you dont take a direction you are well and truly farrked.
And it seems to my observations that many many aetheists would do very well to submit to a "force" greater then themselves.
Their ego's wont like this.
Their ego thinks they will cease to exist if they do.
Paradoxically though, the opposite is true.

If people think they can find peace and happiness in the secular world of "ego", i will wish them good luck. They are going to need it Wink

There are great many "forces" greater than people, there isn't any need for superstitious nonsense to feel connected to the world.

Well for one thing, the sun, not to mention all the other stars - but other natural forces can easily overwhelm us, not to mention other people working together - or against you.
