Where would you rather live?

[Entropist]

Theists are generally among the most creative and artistic people yes.

Harlan Ellison, Lovecraft, Hemingway, Arthur Miller, Robert Graves, Seamus Heaney, Philip Larkin, Graham Greene, Houseman, Orwell, Shelley, George Eliot, Beckett, Primo Levi, Giacomo Leopardi, Sartre, Camus, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Rimsky-Korsakov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Bela Bartok, Pierre Boulez and Richard Strauss (to name only a small handful off the top of my head) are hardly lightweights in literature and music (and don't get me started on gay artists!).

You might be surprised who is and is not a theist (not to mention any orthodox believers). Its hardly as black-and-white as you're making it out to be.

My only concession is that you'd get Bach and atheists would be stuck with Barry Manilow...
