    I do question what makes a person a Christian here.
    Obviously if there are missionary's from Europe or America,
    They would not allow it.

    So you assumed that a total of around 1000 females out of nearly 500 million females in total in those countries is what all the fuss is about (0.0002%) ?

    The bottom axis is percentage hence 0% to 100%

    And here are some more countries with Christians being more involved in FGM than Muslims:

    Ethiopia:
    Population 110 million
    Number of Christians : 65% Christian --> 71 million Christians
    Number of Muslims : 35% Muslim --> 38 million Muslims

    From the bar chart:
    90% of Muslim FGM --> 34 million Muslims
    70% of Christians FGM --> 50 million Christians

    Kenya
    Population 50 million
    Number of Christians : 70% Christian --> 35 million Christians
    Number of Muslims : 6% Muslim --> 3 million Muslim

    From the bar chart:
    50% of Muslim FGM --> 1.5 million Muslims
    25% of Christians FGM --> 9 million Christians

    Most public school teachers aren't atheists. Get a clue.

    Ergo (in your mind), most school teachers are atheists. Egads.

    Most teachers are liberals, not leftists. They're middle-class folks. Some atheists, of course, but more believers than atheists or nonbelievers.

    You're study focuses on atheists, not teachers.

    [​IMG]

    "Looking at the data across the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, we find that teachers are about 9 to 11 percentage points more likely than other Americans as a whole to pray one or more times per day. During the 1980s and 1990s, Americans were asked how close they felt to God. Teachers were about 8 percentage points more likely than other Americans to report feeling 'extremely close' to God.

    Why do teachers, by these measures, seem more religious than other Americans? Perhaps the differences are due to gender. Most teachers are women, and women are more likely than men to be frequent churchgoers and more likely to pray one or more times a day. In fact, we find teachers of both genders to be more religious than nonteachers. Female teachers are about 8 percentage points more likely to attend church frequently than female nonteachers, and male teachers are 16 percentage points more likely to attend church frequently than male nonteachers. Teachers are apparently more religious than other Americans, regardless of gender or education."

    What was once 'liberal' no longer applies. Leftists have usurped the name and are no longer 'liberal. They will also call themselves 'Progressive' when they are not 'progressive' either.

    The Democrats, as we can readily notice, are indeed Leftist, as is academia in general.

    https://www.nccivitas.org/2018/why-most-academics-are-leftists/

    Your argument based on the stats provided can be made but perhaps the difference lies between 'school teachers' and those educators involved in higher learning.

    No, I knew that the bottom axis was percentage, but I just thought that it was percentage of the whole population. So for example, 90% of Ethiopia's population are Muslims that practice FGM. I totally misread the graph. You've set me straight!

    Cheers for doing the math for me, you saved me some work! Yes, to be honest I didn't realise how many of those countries had Christianity as the majority religion. I am quite shocked by these numbers, I'll be honest. However, if Christians in the West were practicing FGM where there is a more, developed and established Christian Institution, it would be quite a different story. Christianity came to these FGM countries centuries after the West. I also note, that the percentage of Muslims who practice FGM is ALWAYS higher than Christianity. What do you make of this?

    One reason could be that Islam is right wing and conservative. Conservatives promote maintaining culture of their country. FGM is part of the ancient culture in some countries. It is generally right wing people who complain that immigrants are coming in and changing the culture of their country where as left wing folk tend to embrace different cultures

    LangleyMan may be naive and simply unaware of whats going on

    Many teachers may less radical that the others

    But the driving force in education is radical leftism

    And if the average teacher wants to see retirement that every gov employee dreams of they better not get in the way of the social revolution being waged by the far left

    Get real. Inanna was the god of love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, justice, and political power of (among) the Sumerians,... and because of that a highly important one. They worshiped her in that area for something like 3000 years, that's around a 1000 years longer than the Christian God with his Jesus Christ and Moses.

    I dunno where you got that idea from.

    Probably because they are spoken of in the Qur'an.

    Probably because it is preached in the religion.
    It's not preached in Judism or Christianity. If it is in this case, then we are getting a version of these religions that simply is not so.
    This is common when people merge religions.
    my guess is that these are composite religions,
