Lots of ways to manipulate a survey

Statistics are easy to manipulate and derive results which confirm your biases

diversity doesnt contradict general trends

That's why it is hard to do a real scientific study

but here, i can find others

You don't get my point

"Results are based on telephone interviews conducted as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index survey Jan. 2-July 28, 2010, with a random sample of 554,066 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, selected using random-digit-dial sampling."

Leave the fucking studies, tell me how are someone's religious beliefs going to make them fat?

Again another survey

Just answer my question

the previous one was epidemiology

its correlative that same casual reasons why someone would self label as an atheist is the same casual reasons as to why someone is more likely to be fat

Elaborate

correlation does not mean direct causation but it necessitates common causation

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
