Poverty and Theism

[Brian37]

Does poverty equate to under education (ignorance) and therefore religion?

Or maybe that religion might be a desperate grasp as an escape from poverty?

Perhaps. Or maybe people who are poor recognize the need for God more acutely, whereas rich people take their wealth for granted. Humility is a virtue. Pride cometh before the fall.

Bullshit....

Labels don't prevent greed nor do labels constitute loyalty to a class.

The assholes whom support the "don't tax the rich" come from the far right republican Christian base, and their voters reside in mostly red states. The majority of Americans hold some sect of Christianity, in both parties and all three classes, the top 1% will also hold some sect of Christianity, and those people as the top earners vote REPUBLICAN  mostely.

Only Christians are capable of valuing empathy and charity? NONSENSE! 

Atheists get slurred no matter what class we are in.

If we point out a rich atheist, they get called greedy.

If we point out middle class or poor atheists, we get called liberal commies.

Now, I DO NOT agree with other atheists here on economics. You'd know that if you had been paying attention to the political threads regarding Trump's run. There are ATHEISTS here on this website who supported him. I am not one of them, I hate that fucker. 

I hate Ayn Rand too, and she was an economic "fuck you I got mine" atheist.

But, I also run into some atheists who think Che, who lead to Castro's Cuba, was a hero and stupidly think you can rid the world of the private sector. Again, I hate Che and the Castro family too.

There are poor Christians and middle class Christians and rich Christians. There are liberal Christians and conservative Christians. But the SAME is true for atheists. We exist in all classes and we are in both parties, we are not a gang. The only thing "atheist" means is "off", outside that, if you want to know an atheist's views on politics or economics, you can only ask the individual, because we are NOT sheep.
