Why is it that 46% of Americans have certified mental health problems and only 2% of British do?

Fact!

    1.  It depends on who did the "certifying".
    2.  Then it depends on who is posing the question.
    3.  Lastly, it depends on the motives of #1 and #2.

    Actually 98 percent of British are crazy and only 2 percent are sane.

    'Crazy' is the norm.

    The British like surveys as much as anyone else on this planet. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 28, 2016 5:09 AM MST

    I'd like to have a look at your survey then, including the method and frame used conducting it. Thank you. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 28, 2016 8:59 AM MST

    Might have been wrong approach. You might have gotten the same result any other place on Earth if using the same settings and approach. This isn't enough data for such major conclusion you presented above. Hmm.

    Like said, the approach is something to have in mind when conducting a survey. Mhmm.

    You can't conclude that last statement you make based on the statistics presented. Just because people think religion is not very important (and compared to what?) isn't the same as saying they aren't a member of a religion.

    Doesn't make it any more true. It's a jump conclusion made on that figure alone. It's simply not given in that question, or those results presented here. But that won't be the first time results from a survey have been misinterpreted. Ask the same population used if they believe there is a God, and you will likely get a whole different result. Not very important isn't the same as not important at all. Simple as that. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 28, 2016 12:33 AM MST

    As I "said": their conclusion (description of the results showed) on that figure.

    Your conclusion based on the table was, that there are more religious people in the US than in the UK. You cannot make such conclusion either, not based on the figure alone. You might be right, and you can make such hypotheses, but you cannot make such conclusion/statement based on the results presented.

  • IT WASNT BASED ON THAT TABLE  . NOR WAS IT A CONCLUSION  . IT WAS  THE TITLE  OF THE NEXT SEPERATE  WEBSITE LISTED   Underneath THAT ONE  ON   A GOOGLE  SEARCH  PAGE  !!! 
    google this  "  more religious people in the usa than uk ? "    see  for yourself  the loads of   results saying the same thing   . try to  separate the  websites tho .

    You did use this figure to accompanying your statement, no? I am not questioning what you say might be wrong. I am telling you that the figure used isn't showing what you say, or what the article has chosen as description. It is simply not given as a fact based on the figure alone. End of discussion from my side, we have reached the point of circular arguing. Have a lovely day/night.
