Not sure about the rest of the world, but in the US, theism is higher among the lower classes.
Quote:A person who believes in atheism is less motivated in life, less likely to start a family, less likely to try hard in his career, less likely to do what it takes to support a family and be a positive contribution to his community.
There is no such thing as 'belief in atheism'.
Quote:Also, atheism is a major contributor to such social issues as domestic abuse, child abuse, alcoholism, drug abuse, and crimes of moral turpitude.

Quote:Atheist marriages are less stable and more likely to break up when Christians, especially Catholics, will stick things through and make it work.
Not true. The 1999 Barna study showed atheist marriages last longer than Christian marriages.
Quote:Atheism actually has no positive effect on society, and for that reason should be discouraged.
The most atheistic countries in the world (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark) have; lower violent crime rates, better health care, lower infant mortality, better chances for upward mobility, lower dropout rates, than the most theist countries.
