Religion, and church services in particular, are fucking boring. Add in pointless restrictions, mindless bigotry and no actual consequences for not joining (except people being shitty to you), and you've got an outdated idea.
If you murder few people and end up in prison. Its safe to say that your life is beyond repair. And its a collateral damage of being compeletly free. What an exciting life.
Who are these atheists who murder people because they're free from religion?
Do you even know what you're talking about? A simple yes or no will suffice.

Not to mention there are innumerably more theists in jail for murder than there are atheists...

All I have to go on is you misrepresenting both sides.
Are you going to answer this PP? Are you an atheist or a theist?

Atheists murder when they are exteremly desperate because often at those times their own morale code breaks and they become animals.

So, you're an atheist.
Are you one of these murdering animals? Or are you immune to your own strawmen?

I should make it clear that I'm not suggesting religions are "untrue" because they are boring. They are untrue for entirely different reasons. But being boring is a good explanation for why people are leaving.

Natural selection, good or bad is based on empirical evidence ... it may be superseded by a better understanding of the facts along with further empirical evidence, but it is a scientific process that may eventually lead to the truth rather than what some would prefer to be the truth.
A bit of a change of topic, but ok...I'll bite. The Gospel is based on empirical evidence as well. I would also agree, that it may be superseded by a better understanding of the facts or additional evidence. It is not a scientific process, but I don't believe that science is the only method of gaining knowledge (it is a tool to be used under the right circumstances).
Quote:Religion, bad or worse is based on indoctrination from stone-age myths and reinterprets our better understanding of facts and new empirical evidence so some can maintain what they prefer to be the truth and tries to stop us reaching the truth.
See... here's the rub; I think that a lot of what you said here is based on the indoctrination of atheism. I don't think that you can support much of it, and I get the feeling that you lump all religions into one large group in orderly to easily dismiss them without doing any serious thinking.

So, 'no', then. Good to know.
