Post your Myer's Brigg's personality type (MBTI) and religious views.
If you do not already know your type, this test is pretty decent i think (although I hate the types of questions, I scored the same profile as I have previously got with professionally administered tests). And it's free; http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
I am an INTP, and an atheist. Atheism is a no-brainer really.
Ultimately no. I would not feed this because idiot theists will use this as excuses to call poor drug addicts atheists(even if they believe) and will also use it to accuse rich people of not being "true Christians".
Evolution has always produced the same range of personalities no mater the label the person claims.
"Personalities" have more to do with DNA and chemical make up and upbringing. There is no simplistic discription of a "personality".
You can make general observations that "this person" with more testosterone seems to be more agressive.
But the truth is you can have BOTH sensitive men and agressive men and sensitive women and agressive women. That has always been the case and will always trancend labels and boarders.
Evolution is the Roseta Stone to understanding. Not simplistic labels like "personalities".
Life is a range so you cant use one factor such as label or just DNA or just nationality. Evolution has always been a combo of DNA, and environment and culture.
