0% of Icelanders 25 or younger believe god created the world

Iceland seems to be on its way to becoming an even more secular nation, according to a new poll. Less than half of Icelanders claim they are religious and more than 40% of young Icelanders identify as atheist. Remarkably the poll failed to find young Icelanders who accept the creation story of the Bible. 93.9% of Icelanders younger than 25 believed the world was created in the big bang, 6.1% either had no opinion or thought it had come into existence through some other means and 0.0% believed it had been created by God.
The poll found an even more dramatic difference between different generations when it probed how people believed the world had been created. Of those younger than 25 93.9% said the world had been created in the big bang and 0.0% believed God had created the world. 77.7% of those between 25 and 44 years old believed the world had been created in the big bang and 10.1% believed God had created the world. In all but the oldest age category a majority accepted the big-bang theory. Only 46.1% of those older than 55 believed in the big bang, and nearly a fourth, 24.5% believed God had created the world.
I hope the rest of the world will follow soon and the silly stone age religions that cause nothing but war and pain will be erased from the face of this beautiful world.
There is no way these statistics are true and the people applauding are incredibly offensive and ignorant.
Anyways, everyone is entitled to their own belief on the creation of the world without being judged. I believe God had a very large involvement, but I completely respect that others do not and am 100% fine with that. What I do not respect is the "atheism is superior" mindset that certain entitled fools on this forum have taken (and, obviously I'm opposed to "Christianity is objectively superior and Christians > Non-Christians" people as well)
