Quote:Who does not live in a theist dominated environment?
Me for a start.
An atheist in a secular society,(Australia) theism has no direct effect on my behaviour. I consider control over my behaviour necessary before I would agree my society is dominated by a belief system or ideology. Using that definition my society and every "developed" society is dominated by the capitalist ethos,which is essentially a-religious and a-moral. (although it IS consistently piously hypocritical)
I can think of a few theist dominated societies EG Hassidic Jews,Amish some Middle Eastern tribal societies,-and America to a point,although I'd say "disproportionately influenced by". The term "dominated by" seems a bit hysterical as a universal principle.
