:I'm a little confused about the terminology of the survey.  According to the 1998 figures, 7% had "personal belief", 72% had "personal disbelief", and 21% had "doubt (presumably equivalent to atheism) or agnosticism".  I know what atheism and agnosticism are, but what does personal disbelief mean in this case?  It sounds like agnosticism, but agnosticism is in a separate category.  So what is it?  Anyone know?--[[User:Frey|Frey]] 13:31, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
