Atheists, Who would You Rather Have as a Neighbor

RE: Atheists, Who would You Rather Have as a Neighbor

B. an atheist who's a cynical curmudgeon who thinks since he doesn't believe in god, he has no reason to act morally or be nice.


Choice B is describing a nihilist, not an atheist.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
