Blackrook, you make a number of unsubtantiated claims about athiests. However looking at the facts and using your criteria, atheism should be strongly encouraged as it obviously benefits society at large:
How so? Atheist are poorly represented in the lower classed and better represented in the upper classes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/daniel-cox...46894.html
Atheist have a lower divorce rate than theists. http://www.salon.com/2013/11/01/atheist_...s_partner/ A higher education and income level than Christians. http://atheistscholar.org/AtheistPsychol...phics.aspx And lower teen pregnacy rates. http://secularist10.hubpages.com/hub/Rel...-Pregnancy
Athiest actually commit fewer crimes than the religion. http://www.atheismresource.com/2010/athe...ligious-do
Actually atheists have a better track record at staying together than religious couples in the U.S. https://www.barna.org/barna-update/artic...s-released
Besides all of the positive effects mentioned above, scientists are much more likely to atheist than deist. http://www.pewforum.org/2009/11/05/scien...nd-belief/
Having had this pointed out to your repeatedly, you cry foul. Oh poor me, these people are rude.
News flash: making baseless claims against a group of people is rude. Making such claims in their homes or institutions is ruder. You are in our house. Behave yourself. Would you like us to present these statistics in your church? Thought not.
But at least they'd have the advantage of being true.
