Happiness level after embracing atheism

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Thank you, Aroura, for pointing at that abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution.

Creationists just love to muddy the argument by equating the two.  Whether this is out of ignorance, deliberate, or a combination of the two I'm not sure.

I live in the US, and in my real-life experience with these people most of it comes down to the ego-driven, and particularly arrogant anti-social personality finding legitimacy among the gullible and the prior-indoctrinized. Well, I actually have met more than a few who lead evangelical congregations or are trusted with their children who would speak freely of their criminal/violent past before they "found Jesus", and the best part of that joke is the followers who believe their "shepherds" have really reformed at all! There are of course at least as many charismatic and arrogant evangelical leaders who were born and raised where they are, and not to generalize on genetic factors but research on that does lead to the reasonable conclusion that our personalities are all influenced to some extent by this. That the shitheads of the world (including Australian Ken Ham) have been able to exploit American believers and push them to extremes is a matter of geographically-driven history.
