As Demonura mentioned, we have our own biasedness injected in our arguments. My life experiences tells me a moderate Christian society(As what most churches are nowadays in western societies) is a better society. You all may differ with your experiences and this is not really up to mathematical debating.
I grew up, 10 years being in a Christian school. Thereafter, sometimes I attended church, for the mere socialising.
BTW,I am close to my thirties now, sufficient life experiences to discuss this.
The number of unreasonable atheist people I have met outside of the Christian world far far outnumber the unreasonable Christian people I have met.
Just an example, once I had to be in a particular place with a group of people. There was one very very big sized guy at about 160 kg or 350pds.He was going around, practically scolding people as and when he wished. None of the other people dared to get into trouble with him.
Back then I didn't look at poeople by their size. I was just a new entrant to that particular group,so I guessed if the rest of the oldies are not making noise, I should not.
Now that I think back, it was mainly his size that the rest kept quiet. Survival of the strongest. I hate it a lot but I have to just accept it whether I like it or not.
Some other instances, people wanting to start a fight just because you looked at them first, or just as bad, a 40 or 45 year old man wanted to fight with me too, even though his female friend bumped into my drink.
All these I havent had a taste of in my Christian setting.
Tell me then, put aside ideologies for a moment. Have more genuine Christians in your life given you unreasonable trouble or more Atheists?
Oh of Russia. It was about that most of their politicians are Atheists.
I wanted to 'put the pen down' but new areas keep popping up.
I know too that with the last two posts nothing much will be settled. It is my life experience vs yours.Oh well..
