Why Atheism Replaces Religion In Developed Countries

High speed internet really? A spoilled brat is what you are...
FWIW, when I took Anymouse into my home, he was homeless. Even now, he is quite underweight. "over-fed belly" doesn't quite cut it.

By what measure is the US a "developed" country? Because of the toys that some people have that were purchased by individuals and government on credit?

Do you mean the millions of people who have no access to medical care, except in
some hospital emergency rooms only if it's a dire emergency? Are you referring
to the growing number of people living under viaducts in cities washing the windows of
any car that goes by, hoping for something in payment?

Are you referring perhaps to the abysmal infant mortality rate that the USA has
in relation to other countries, at 177 out of 233, between the Northern Mariana Islands and the Faroe Islands? Do you mean in our life expectancy being between the nations of Cuba and Albania? When I lived in Oklahoma I taught adult literacy. That's not a job that's going to end any time soon - Oklahoma has a literacy rate a little lower than
Cambodia at well under half, as opposed to the US as a whole which has a 99% rate.

Do you mean a nation where 2/3 of the teachers report children coming to school who have not eaten since lunch the previous day, and too hungry to learn? http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2011/02/2...298510763/ Where in 2009, more than a million kids went to bed hungry each night? And 50 million had problems getting food sometime over the previous year? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/nov...-us-report

A nation which does not have safety-nets? Or, some spotty ones which serve as safety nets for certain groups of people, and many people fall through because they either on't qualify for any help, or they cannot navigate to a source of help?

Life exists outside of yuppie suburbs. So does internet access - even homeless have access to high-speed internet through public libraries.
