Why some humans are so evil: double standards and irreligion

[FatAndFaithless]

I guess that's probably the only thing that bothers me about "most atheists" I know. I'd likely agree with most atheists on most issues, but for some reason it seems to be the cool or hip thing to take this horribly pessimistic view of humanity. Despite the fact that the evidence points to the contrary, it just seems easier to say humans are naturally shitty, most people would be bad if we didn't stop them, etc.

People are good! And we're getting better at being good!
