If the question is are there more Atheists and non-believers and persons who do not self identify with religion than people who believe in specific supernatural entities? (keep an imaginary friend) Then Keith is right in the USA and Europe its about 3 or 4 to 1 in favor of imaginary friend keepers.

No, no, no, Jack. 3 or 4 to 1 SAY that they believe in specific supernatural entities. There are no figures to confirm if they actually do believe or are just saying that. Maybe they say it to just be on the safe side. Sort of insurance, in case they do not believe and are wrong:-) Maybe they, like me, are just used to saying they are Roman Catholic because it is easier than explaining something else. Maybe they are just superstitious. Maybe they are just winding someone up. You know, sort of like people do on here! There are dozens of reasons why the 3 0r 4 to 1 cannot be taken as fact. Sorry.
