How are they even remotely related

ill explain. Someone who self labels as atheist usually abstains from religious community events. We expect that to be the end of it but what we find is that those abstain from religious community events are more likely to abstain from all community gatherings.

including things such as parks, gyms, reunions and so on

Nah

Not parks and gyms

you cant just say nah to general trends

That's poor logic again

Why would an atheist abstain from parks and gyms?

there are some atheist that go to the park but religious people are more likely to go to the park

Show me studies

Or i call BS

From my anecdotal experience I'd argue atheists are actually more likely to go to gyms and not be obese

hold up

But i am not ignore enough to generalize that

@Deleted User your accounting for age right?

Don't pull up another shitty survey, I can do that too

were not comparing them to overweight elderly grandmothers but an average 18 year old atheist to an average 18 year old christian

It's easy to do that

bro, you say gives you sources but deny survey participation studies?

Your surveys are not scientific studies

do you political science is not science?

The sample size, elimination of biases, there are so many factors that go into an actual scientific study

its a soft science i would say but they can still falsify studies

yes and survey studies account for those things by accounting for demographics and sample size

you know that, right?

That's why you never draw broad conclusions from anything except a rigorous scientific study

> do you political science is not science?
@RandomDiscordAccount no it's not

okay, whats your definition of science?

mines predicated on falsifiability as presented by karl popper

the study of and knowledge about the physical world and natural laws

Whatever be your definition, your surveys are objectively unscientific

yes and this isnt mutually exclusive to that and is instead inclusive to studying the physical world

If it's not a scientific study, it doesn't count... the end

really because theyre considered scientific on average by professionals

Not a scientific study

😑

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

"Survey methodology is both a scientific field and a profession, meaning that some professionals in the field focus on survey errors empirically and others design surveys to reduce them."

If i am a hindu today and become an atheist tomorrow, there's no reason i am going to stop going to the gym. It's common sense

bruh

common sense isnt scientific
