Very proud that UK is right near the bottom of this list, but feels wild that its “only 90%”.
I wonder how many people were actuallt surveyed, nobody asked me.
I sure am surprised to see that Israel didn’t appear on this list. Kinda sus.
I will weird seeing my country do well on anything even mildly progressive.
Please nuke us, we don’t deserve redemption.
Which country are you?
Serbia on here. As you know, irredemable rightwing fundamentalist warcrimes hellhole.
🥲 that’s unlucky
I did hear things are turning around though?
Economicaly, we are closer to EU, secretly support Ukraine.
But we have a program with Israel…so doomed.
Strongly disagree should be on the far left. And what is the definition of “acceptable”?
The question is subjective so it means whatever the person answering it thinks it means.
Yeah that’s a bit misleading
It’s a poverty chart
that’s the pattern you picked up 🤣
There is social correlation between adherence to cultural norms and stress levels in a society. Things like safety and food availablity are stressor for sure.
Also its the weird reason rich people break rules and dont adhere to social norms.
✨️ Psychology ✨️
Japan, famously a place that’s not very stressed
However, Guatemala faces many social problems and is one of the poorest countries in Latin America

Somehow also ends up with the good guys as well
Oh baby!!!
Japan had been SO STRESSED.
Its a fucking island. The isolation and limited outside contact made each individual essential and social harmony a necessity. These social norms were very explicit and enforced strictly.
Back to the island. High population density and limited land is a stressed society. Internalized social shame based on dependency on the society itself being balanced and maintained manifested.
Rapid industrilization of Japan strengthened industrialized discipline, which is a reinforcement of rules.
Post War Japan. Atom bomb. Enough said.
Do you think its the last two+ decades of a staunchly anti-islam media thats had an effect on you? This is such an odd post to randomly come across.
Hey btw, nice to come across an AZer on wild lemmy :)
I thought of a cartoon inspired by this post, it could be funny,
-
A few people sitting in a quiet room,
-
Ikt walks in, “I hate Islam”, walks back out.
-
Confused room ensues.
Do you think its the last two+ decades of a staunchly anti-islam media thats had an effect on you?
No I can just look at a chart
Also I just realised I didn’t say anything about Islam, I just said “that’s the pattern you picked up?”, looks like you picked up on it as well but for some reason feel the need to defend Islam, how odd!
😂 Wrong again Ikt. I know you. And I know why you said,
Thats the pattern you picked up?
I heard journalists at the National Press Club last week with better got-ya’s.
The you omg this is making my night.
yeah but i never said islam
Lets start at the beginning: What is it about the chart that made you think i was thinking of islam :)
Best chance to explain your post is now,
-
What about the graph caught you’re eye?
-
What made you feel the need to share it?
-
What did you mean by your reply to the first commenter?
Don’t be coy about you’re bigoted view now, you’ve started the conversation you obviously want to have. Do lets talk, yet again, about how you have this unreasonable hatred of a quarter of the world. You wanna fly over to some random example that suits your argument from Sweden again? That was fun! :p
For those reading on: We’ve talked a lot about their bigoted view on this subject in the past check our comment histories.
Ooohh shit this is some popcorn level lore. Hope I see yall duking it out again someday.
Good to see you’ve dodged the question because it gives you uncomfortable feelings (about a quarter of the world)👍

Everyone outside of America expecting Americans to place much higher on this chart:
I’m inside America and our placement makes me question their methods and/or how they worded the questions.
It would be nice if it were true. I just don’t think it is.
I would’ve been like that 10–15 years ago, now I am just glad they are not on the very top (yet?)
Edit: wait, did you mean they should be less accepting of other religions? I’m confused
They meant non-Americans would expect the US to rank at the top, being hardcore christians denying any other religion. I am such a non-American and was surprised at this graphic. Seems that image we have of them is not representative of the US population.
The hardcore christians don’t dominate everywhere equally. You’ll hear much more religious fervor in southern and rural areas, generally. The hardcore christians are also the loudest, so where they do reside, they’ll be speaking over anyone who disagrees with them.
America in general is just “the cities” and “the countryside” tbh, effectively two different nations side by side.
As an American, I feel like… so like if I’m the smartest person in the world, that’s so fucked for me and the world. That kind of sentiment.
Yeah, that seems to make more sense than what I assumed of other people wishing Americans to be more tolerant. I mean, we do wish, I guess
Thanks
Hmmm. I wonder what criteria was used to select the countries for this survey. Definitely interested in why certain ones are missing…
…and why Puerto Rico is included.
Equador is in the middle. Again?
Wow nice to see my country wins another award!
I was wondering why I couldn’t find Israel on the list, I suspected they would fall on to one of the extremes, then I remembered Israel isn’t a real country
But srsly I wonder why they weren’t included in the survey, it’s kinda weird.
Based on OPs arguments elsewhere in the comments, it wouldn’t be convenient for their anti Islam narrative.
Because they would have been deeply red, and it would make them look bad to the people this is designed to appeal to
They accept other religions so much they are sending every cititizen of every neighbouring country to meet their God sooner.
Fuck religion, that’s my opinion. I see what my Christians neighbours defend. Hipocrites.
Everything adds up to 100%… but since atheism isn’t a religion, how was that handled? Were only religious people interviewed?
Maybe atheism was also considered a religion for this purpose, as people definitely can think ‘everyone must be atheists’ or ‘everyone can do as they please’
is anyone willing to lookup the source and see what it says?
Yeah, no, I’m fine speculating about how the poll could have been designed. Besides, the country I am interested in is not in the list anyway
Atheists could have a spectrum as well. There are atheists that don’t give a shit what sky daddy you talk to when you are scared and others that think that all religious people are irredeemable morons that should be castrated so the ignorance of religion can’t be spread further.
My comment wasn’t philosophical, I just wanted to know how the data was obtained.
That’s about right for Mexico. I would always think that place was the worst in terms of free thinking… Yet I am corrected. Mexico is pretty bad, but there are way worse places. But there you see how the US still shines bright. There may be a lot of religious zealots, but the majority is accepting of other people’s beliefs.
I’m not religious, but if I was, I’d be in the “Strongly agree” category. It’s the only one that makes sense, no? Who would believe in their religion 100% but think that other religions are also fine? It’s like saying you believe in science but astrology is also acceptable.
You’re not gonna believe this but millions of people believe in science and also love astrology 😅
Luckily I’m a Virgo so I don’t do stupid things like that
I don’t think most religions don’t really argue about other people’s faith to much. Christianity has the parable of the good Samaritan, for instance.
Also early Islam was really tolerant of people of other faith. The problem arises mainly when faith gets incorporated in nationalism. You see that in the data too, countries that have religion tied to the national ideal are most intolerant.
Why would it not be acceptable to let others believe in different things than you do? Just because you believe in something and are convinced what the other person believes in is wrong, that doesnt mean you cant accept them believing in it.
That raises the question of whether or not any beliefs are harmful to society.
That raises the question
How so?
THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS
One of the main rules mate
Believing in two religions is not the same as accepting that other people believe in other religions. I dont understands whats so confising about this…
Accepting that they believe in a religion is a slight difference in wording there. It’s not hard to understand. Bangladesh gets it.
I believe in religion X. Religion X has a magic guy in charge who dictates all acceptable behaviour. He literally defines unacceptable behaviour. Some people believe religion Y. Religion Y dictates different behaviour. Unacceptable. Religion Y is UNACCEPTABLE
You have literally no idea how religions work and are talking out of your ass based on your prejudices. Good job making a fool of yourself.
How dare you decide how my hypothetical religion works
Theyre all hypothetical.
But yeah, tolerance is a virtue. Unless someone’s intolerant, we can’t tolerate that.
I’m not being funny. Intolerance is the exception and needs to be shamed and destroyed.
Anyway ultimately, understanding someone’s wrong but giving them their due when it comes to free will is mostly nonsecular jam. Thats where most derive meaning.
And I’m not even secular jelly about that.
More simply. If youre taking a test, focus on your own paper. If youre peeking around and someone’s wrong, its their lesson not yours. And you might be fuckin wrong.
Ok good luck and godspeed.
Im not talking about your religion. You cna believe whatever you want. This discussion is about a survey people took about their beliefs, if you forgot already.
That is part of Jewish law. Jews do not expect others to follow their law.
Not every religious person is 100% religious. How can you be 100% sure something like a god (or gods) doesn’t exist? How would you know? In the grand scheme of things, you are nigh imperceptible. Whether you live or die, are happy or sad, might not matter in the slightest. There are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on this planet.
Claiming to know a god doesn’t exist is as laughable as claiming a god does exist. Accepting that one doesn’t know everything is not a sign of weakness, lack of belief, or mental fortitude, it’s a realistic way of approaching the world.
Fair point but I think if I was religious I’d throw myself into it 100%. I’m not gonna half-arse my way into heaven, they’d see through that!
This way of thinking might be part of the reason why you’re not religious. 😜
Do the 18% of Japanese who agree mean Buddhism or Shintō?
hentai
Most Japanese believe in a mix of both.
