True, your Sunday mornings may be occupied in going to Church etc, but then you receive so many blessings for fulfilling your obligations to Him in that way, from receiving Him in Holy Communion,
And this is how much this guy is interested in the conversation about fine-tuning, which is nill. He just jumps to another topic.
When it comes to happiness and religion, the happiest countris in the world are also the least religious countries in the world, like Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Canada.
While the least-happy nations on earth are highly religious societies with virtually no atheists: Congo, Zimbabwe, Burundi, Afghanistan
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
