Don't patronize me, asshole, and quit backpedaling. You said that based upon what people here post about their depression that you were certain that atheists are more depressed than Christians. I provided a study that said you were wrong, but your only response is to do more research on depression, all while failing to do your own research to rebut my critique of your claim. Now, are you going to address that you were wrong?
And don't think I didn't notice that you skipped over my response to your statement that those who have an inherited tendency towards depression don't count. I love how you just dismiss yourself as a non-applicable statistic, but you don't even bother to find out whether or not the atheists here have a genetic tendency towards depression before you make your conclusion that they are depressed due to their atheism.
