You're confusing the Liberal message they try to pawn off to you with something much more powerful.

You contradict your own reference.

I would say that roughly 83 to 90% of the world's population professes a belief in God or a similarly understood higher power(s).

This figure does not disagree with the statistics presented by PBS.

Well, maybe there are different sects that I am not aware of, I don't claim to know everything about them. However I am basing my little knowlege on personal experiences with satanists. I am one of those Christians that take the bible seriously (Matthew 28 18-20), and witness to people of Jesus. Through that venue, I have met and conversed with people of all different faiths, including Satanist. The Satanist, knows all there is to know about his master. The devil was once the highest angel under God, his name, as most know, is Lucifer. Lucifer aspired to be as God himself, and for this, God created Hell, and banished him and the band of angels following him to hell. The Devil is the ultimate liar, but he certainly acknowloges God. The Satanist, if he/she truly believes, then understands this well.

I'll say it again. According to the Church of Satan, Satanists do not believe in the existence of your god nor do they believe in the existence of the devil, Lucifer.

If you believe that, then you believe a lie. I just cut and pasted this right from the linked WS you posted "Lucifer Rising"

Come again?

I'm trying to have an intelligent, meaningful discussion with you on christianity. Must we always end up hurling political barbs at each other?

I am a patient man. Please try again, this time confining yourself to theological argument.

Thanks.

That was his opinion, further down there is more info:

"...various estimates estimate that between about 85 and 95% of people in the world believe in God and/or a higher power. "

Again... this is not inconsistent with the statistics presented by PBS which puts the number at roughly 86%
