I don't see anything in your links that remotely supports your original claim that "The majority of atheists globally believe in astrology".
Even if you expand your claim to add fengshui, it's entirely plausible that only about 10% of the Chinese population are atheists who believe in fengshui. That would mean only 17% of Chinese atheists believe in fengshui.
- graemep 1y agoOver 60% of Chinese people say they are convinced atheists (i.e. as opposed to being just non-religious). Nearly half of them believe in feng shui. At the very least its an indicator that atheist and superstition are a common combination.
- moefh 1y ago> At the very least its an indicator that atheist and superstition are a common combination. The very least is even less than what I wrote: it's the smallest possible overlap between convinced atheists and fengshui believers: (47-(100-61)) = 8% of the population being both. You can call it common if you want, but again I don't see how you'd get from that to anywhere near "the majority of atheists globally believe in astrology".
