A point for Christianity

[athoughtfulman]

Please back up your claim.

But you can't because surprise surprise studies have shown a STRONG positive correlation between secular countries and societal health.

RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today.

According to the study, belief in and worship of God are not only unnecessary for a healthy society but may actually contribute to social problems.

I read a book by Sam Harris about this. "Letter to a Christian Nation".

I found it extremely interesting that the evidence that christianity worked was completely contrary to what it should be. I mean, we might not be able to find empirical proof of god, but surely there would be some sort of sociological proof that christianity as a religion produced positive results in people. Sure, there's always a party pooper, but this time it seems there's more party poopers than not. Speaks loads about the existence of a god who can help people.
