'Atheist' nations more peaceful, Global Peace Index study finds.
Study finds Atheist countries significantly more peaceful.

Proud to say that the #1 Ranked peaceful country is NEW ZEALAND

Cool Shades

Suck it aussies! You got #19.

USA #83
UK # 35
Iraq # 144 (out of 144)

The majority of poor ranking nations on the index are not surprisingly Muslim nations.

Majority Atheist/Secular nations do extremely well:

1 New Zealand 1.202
2 Denmark 1.217
3 Norway 1.217
4 Iceland 1.225
5 Austria 1.252
6 Sweden 1.269
7 Japan 1.272
8 Canada 1.311
9 Finland 1.322
9 Slovenia 1.322

You sound shocked, must be a yank? Smile

It's a very well repudiated organisation, so i wouldn't have too much problem accepting their findings unless they are directly challenged.

Of course NZ is the most peaceful of all.

You've all moved to Oz.

I noticed the 2 most godless nations, Russia and China did not fare so well.

Russia and China aren't the most godless nations...

Can you back that up with any data? Last I heard, Russia was predominantly Christian, and China was a mix of Buddhism, Taoism, and various others (non-theism included).

Sweden is the most godless nation isn't it? And isn't Norway pretty close?

No more than you can disprove it with lack of data.

Originally isn't the burden of proof more on the positive claim?

Just as why the burden of proof is on the claim that God exists more than he doesn't exist. Although both are claims that require evidence (at least if made as absolute statements) of course.

I may have phrased this post badly but I hope you and/or someone else gets where I'm coming from.
