Talk:Irreligion in Norway

Majority of Norwegian?
"The majority of Norwegians do not believe in a god. A 2016 survey asking 4,000 people "Do you believe in God?" resulted in 39% saying "No", 37% saying "Yes" and 23% saying "I don't know"."

In what way is 1480 out of 5.1 Million people a majority? Asking only 4000 people anything doesn't provide any actual consensus. Not taking sides, just don't like small sample sizes. AntonFMD (talk) 04:51, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * It is quite representative from a statistical point of view actually, but the yes/no percentages are very close: 4k over 5M assure a ~1 % margin of error with an 80 % of confidence (assuming there are no sampling errors) or ~2 % with 99 % confidence. Latest pool shows a much more significant difference between "no" and "yes": 12 %. The article could be improved using this updated poll I suppose (it also contains previous results): http://fritanke.no/nyheter/andelen-som-ikke-tror-pa-gud-oker-sterkt-gudstroen-svekkes/19.10773 --Fraph24 (talk) 23:56, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
