Atheism Kills Off the Ambition of the Lower Classes and Makes them Anti-Social

RE: Atheism Kills Off the Ambition of the Lower Classes and Makes them Anti-Social
If I have to post this link one more time for one more idiot christian who thinks being christian makes him morally superior to atheists I am going to...probably go and...smoke a bowl, really.

Wikipedia: Atheist association with world views and social behaviors

Quote:Sociologist Phil Zuckerman analyzed previous social science research on secularity and non-belief, and concluded that societal well-being is positively correlated with irreligion. His findings relating specifically to atheism include:

Compared to religious people, "atheists and secular people" are less nationalistic, prejudiced, antisemitic, racist, dogmatic, ethnocentric, close-minded, and authoritarian.
In the US, in states with the highest percentages of atheists, the murder rate is lower than average. In the most religious US states, the murder rate is higher than average.

Oh also, some info you might want to read up on.

Catholic criticism of atheism.
I'll quote cuz I know you'll never read it otherwise.
Quote:[...] The imputability of this offense can be significantly diminished in virtue of the intentions and the circumstances. "Believers can have more than a little to do with the rise of atheism. To the extent that they are careless about their instruction in the faith, or present its teaching falsely, or even fail in their religious, moral, or social life, they must be said to conceal rather than to reveal the true nature of God and of religion.

Which is something you should keep in mind the next time you blatantly insult and generalize everyone here.
