The connection between Christianity and Capitalism

RE: The connection between Christianity and Capitalism
(August 18, 2018 at 11:58 pm)Fake Messiah Wrote: That article talks about atheists being surrounded with religious people who are bullying them and therefore being prone to suicide. I mean even on this forum we saw that some atheists can't admit the truth to their surroundings and have to pretend to believe in god, participate in rituals and other bullshit.
Also your argument is the same as Christians do for gays that homosexuality is making you kill yourself while gays are prone to suicide because religious people are bullying them.
Otherwise there is nothing in the atheism itself or in homosexuality that makes people want to kill them selves.

Look it this way: the happiest nations in the world are those where people are least religious, like Scandinavia, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland.
And yet the least-happy nations on earth are highly religious societies with virtually no atheists, like Congo, Zimbabwe, and Burundi.
*emphasis mine*
Here we go again...

I find it hilarious when you guys want to make a point about the happiest countries, you try to skirt around the fact that they have a state religion, but never mind all that..

Denmark 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Denmark
Quote:According to the latest Eurobarometer, as of 2015, 78.2% of Danish people are Christians (67.4% are Protestant, 2.0% are Orthodox and 1.3 are Catholics), 19.7% are non-religious and 2.1% are members of other religions.

Iceland
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Iceland
Quote:As of 2017, 81.53% of the Icelandic people were registered as Christians, most of them belonging to the Church of Iceland and minor Lutheran free churches.

Switzerland
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Switzerland
Quote:A survey conducted by Pew Research Center in 2017 found that 75% of Swiss adult population consider themselves Christians when asking about their current religion (irrespective of whether they are officially members of a particular Christian church by paying church tax).
