Minority Report

[pr126]

Thought for the day:

If Muslims number 1.7 Billion, how is it that they are a minority?

[Shiranu]

Why are there still monkeys?

[PickelledEggs]

Because if a number is less than half, it is a minority? Why is that a question? The current population is about 7.5 billion. That makes a number like 1.7 billion a minority.


You didn't lose your touch with math, did you pr??

By that logic every single ethnicity,  religion etc.  is a minority.
There are no majorities.

[Shiranu]

What is the proportion on Britain, where they're considered a minority?

[PickelledEggs]

There are no majorities.

The point is that a minority is less than the others. Out of the 3 major religious groups, muslims are the minority, with a lower community than judaism and x-tianity, each

There are, according to Pickledeggs 7.5 billion people on the planet, the UK population is a minority.
Note that Pickeldeggs used the whole planet as an example.

That's nice, and yes... the UK would be a global minority.

Now, in the West (or in the UK, take your pick) how many Muslims are there vs. the majority population?

Not so fast.
You have taken the whole planet (7.5 billion) as a measure v muslims.
No mention of the other the 3 major religions in your post.
But no matter. Not worth the argument.

BTW, there are only 15 million Jews on the planet. Hardly a majority by any means.

Post the numbers of all the religious groups and we'll go from there. It's  5 in the morning, so I'm going to sleep

No I won't.
An old English saying, "bollox".

I can't believe this is a real discussion topic.

Muslims are a minority in every western country. That is how they are a minority. You can't ask a question like this without parameters. I am the minority when compared to the universe. I am the overwhelming majority when compared to the occupants of my apartment.

If you have a cat, then no matter how many other dogs or people are there, the cat is the majority.  If you have more than one cat, then you have more than one majority, and that is too many in any math system ;-)

Secular (worldwide) is #3.  I am glad that Neo-Pagans, African Traditional Religions, Ethnic Religions (I would put Judaism there as well as many of the small religions listed), are doing so well, after the imperialism of the major religions.  In another table on Wiki ... 4.4% of Britons are Muslim.
