So how come no comment on this piece.

US GIs are tortured and killed by Germans just because they look Jewish.
They could have been agnostics, atheists or even converts to whatever. 

So maybe, after all, there is a case to be made for the State of Israel.

For those who feel that they have choice as to their religion I invite them
to visit the PBS web site below which shows the way in which some US GI
prisoners of war were treated.  Treated in a way just because they were
Jewish.  Atheist. Agnostic.  Not to matter. 

Here is a case where once the GIs (who looked Jewish) were away from the
laws and protection of the US Constitution and fell into German hands, well
they were just  juden and meant to be treated thusly.  Worked to death.
Beaten to death.  Just juden.

Chinese Folk Religion 188 million
New Asian Religion (I have no idea what this refers to) 106 million
Tribal religions 91 million Atheists 211 million
no religion 925 million
