Atheist/Secular humanist homes have better families and moral values than any theistic household would ever have ever period. The fact is if you look at the data secular/atheist families tend to be a happier family have stronger family ties and even jail statistics there is hardly atheists in jails. What it boils down to is and the majority doesn't want to accept is that atheists are great people and good-natured people who help because they are not doing it for x y z god they are doing it for helping a fellow human being. And the sad fact is i live that life i get told oh your nice guy its sad that well since you are doing this charity work not for god but of your own free will its selfish and you are going to burn in hell. Its not my choice i don't believe in god i just knew i had the information i was skeptical about the bible and events hell i mean i don't mind church but the thing is i feel more better as an atheist than i was a theist because its irrational to fear hell, hell was never suppose to exist in the bible the only reasons why it was added in the first place was to get back people who were leaving the faith.
Yes and no. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
The secular people I know are more objective, many are better at business and managing practical things while some of my Christian friends who live in the spiritual plane can lose sense of grounding and especially finances when they think "everything comes from God." They forget that SOMEONE has to do WORK to produce these "gifts from God."
On the other hand, the people who do Christian spiritual healing are able to heal even extreme cases of cancer, schizophrenia, and other ills that medicine cannot do alone. I have never seen atheists or Buddhist able to cure severe cases of demonic sickness, that only the Christian deliverance prayers seem to be able to handle and get rid of. The other prayers/meditations work the same on the personal level and register the same in the brain as studies show; but with the deeper spiritual sickness that causes mental and criminal illness and addictions,
the Christians definitely have an advantage there that I haven't seen other systems able to match. Those prayers are more concentrated and centralized on a level where those demonic and occult energies operate and can overpower the human mind and will where the other levels of prayer operate.
I would like to see scientific research in this area to prove the difference between dark energies of occult/sorcery/magic and the light energies of positive prayers, plus the concentrated prayers of the people who do exorcisms and deliverance that other prayers can't do.
