How many billions of people on our earth maintain a notion of an immortal soul, and what percentage of those billions are 'blowing up a buncha people who think differently than them so they can be rewarded in an afterlife'...and then show us how you've "demonstrated" that doing so is a "common failing of that mode of thinking"...?

450 of 452 suicide bombers in 2015 were Muslim.
Suicide bombing is a faith based initiative.

And those 450 Muslim suicide bombers comprised 'what percentage' of the billions of people worldwide that maintain the notion of an immortal soul...?
And is that percentage (those 'blowing up a buncha people who think differently than them so they can be rewarded in an afterlife') representative of what you would call "a common failing of that mode of thinking" (those billions that maintain the notion of an immortal soul)...?

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
