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

Use your brains

survey studies are

i am

to read

sources

Common sense is more scientific than your lame logic

You are extrapolating from surveys which are not scientific studies

common sense seems like a fallacious construct based on a bandwagon fallacy

by definition they are

> common sense seems like a fallacious construct based on a bandwagon fallacy
@RandomDiscordAccount it's certainly something you seem to lack
