Human Nature

From my own personal experiences, I would say that atheists are more honest and straightforward than other people.  That might affect how well we socialize.  It certainly does for me.

From my personal experience, atheists like to think themselves more honest and straightforward than other people.

Whether they are is an open question that is not readily resolved by the rather partial accounting that we get online.

In terms of how we identify, I think there are real advantages to understanding that humanity shared a common evolution, with its various pluses and minuses, over believing we are God's favored community in some respect (religion, race, nation, or whatever).
