Since you cited a source (but merely selected a different poll from
the several listed in that source), it hardly seems to matter.

Does it matter?
There are probably a lot of people who are agnostic or who don't care,
who are not listed as atheists, and there are probably not a small
number who don't believe but are still members of churches. But this
hardly seems relevant, since some churches have no problem with gay
rights.

I doubt that anyone did an IQ survey of those who had particular
beliefs on this question. But I daresay that most of them were not as
stupid as you.

Wrong question. The number who practice homosexuality is not the
percentage that support the rights of homosexuals.

Some people believe that any minority, no matter how small, deserves
equal rights, because otherwise it means nothing to call them
"rights".

I see you cannot even get the data right, much less the spelling of
the polling group.
As noted above, you selected one poll result from this article that
had several contradictory ones.
Environics 2001 55% in favor, 41% opposed
Environics 1999 34% in favor, 34% opposed
Angus Reed 53% in favor, 44% opposed
MacLean's 40% in favor, 44% opposed
Canadian Election Survey
48% of Westerners opposed
45% of Ontarians opposed
Gallup Canada 43% approved, 48% opposed
(Note that most of these surveys had approximately that 3% error you
like to spout off about, yet the actual range of the different samples
in more like 15%. And every single one of these polls was
professionally done rather than being like your ad hoc internet polls.
Shows how little use polls are in proving something.)
Now your question was
>Do you REALLY
>"think" that faggots are even more accepted in Canada than in the US?
And it seems that unless you are willing to accept that at least 34%
of Americans accept homosexuality, the answer has to be "yes". (Of
course one could accept homosexuality and still not favor homosexual
marriages, so the numbers above are probably understated with regard
to your question.)

His statement was that he "believed" this, which can be true even if
the belief is true. After all, it is a true statement that "I believe
you are a nincompoop", though it is plausible that you could be an
intelligent person (maybe even a female black jewish homosexual
intelligent person) putting us all on.
There is some basis for his belief, as evidenced by the above polls,
two of which showed such a majority, but someone can truthfully have a
belief with no basis.

It is not a false statement, unless you can prove that he does not
believe what he says he believes.
Only one of the items listed below is even relevant to his claim, the
first one that I left in, which is precisely the number you misquoted
above. I deleted all the ones about America which are completely
irrelevant. Actually the other ones about Canada are also irrelevant.
