I found it tasteless.
As to your knowledge of rhetoric and logical fallacies, bravo. Nothing like some rhetorical devices in the morning to get the blood stirred. You've clearly been brushing up on your Aristotle. However, my point in quoting the statistic of those professing to have faith was not as you suggest to prove the existence of God because a majority believed such, but merely given the mass of that opinion to ask you might show a bit more tolerance towards them.
I'm certain they at least would show some Christian tolerance to you and your uncompromising atheism.
Hmmm, I don't think we have spoken at length before so I shall forgive you for thinking I would care what anyone else thinks with regards to taste on religion.
And I should show tolerance because an awful lot of people share the same delusion? No I am good thanks. At the end of the day, half of all citizens of the UK are below mean intelligence and as such, the very fact that 50% of people may well think the same think does not sway my thinking one iota. I have always thought thinking for oneself and not being a sheep or following the crowd for the simple reason that many do.
As for Christian tolerance, I am unsure if you are saying that tongue in cheek, as I am sure these guys would agree:
