Atheists in the US can't be moral - it's official - Page 3 - Religion, God, and Theology

That would have worked except guise has more letters than guys so now I'm wasting etrees pointing that out to you.

Also, excuse my little lapse into nationalistic cliches, I'm actually not like that at all.

Where are all the atheist churches ? There aren't any because they are moral slackers. I am an atheist but I am not a moral slacker but we are few and far between. It is the atheists who attack the good people on here not vice versa and it's supposed to be a religion forum where good people come for advice on how to become even better.

Now, instead of ranting - why not answer my original question to you in this thread.

Strip clubs are the atheist churches. They have nudity, wine, women, and song, and probably illegitimate children... everything that atheists would want! And they're everywhere!

You're not a moral slacker, but you're probably an intellectual one.

They admire and worship Satan. Some of them believe in human sacrifice.

Also how do you deal with the fact that significantly more criminals are religious than atheist when it comes to morality?

Er more poor people are religious and there are advantages to being religious in prison.

"In the world’s poorest countries — those with average per-capita incomes of $2,000 or lower — the median proportion who say religion is important in their daily lives is 95 percent. In contrast, the median for the richest countries — those with average per-capita incomes higher than $25,000 — is 47 percent.”

What does "moral slacker" actually mean?

Why do I need to go to Church to avoid being one?

I shouldn't have to cite obvious stuff to anyone vaguely intelligent. The obvious valid correlation is between poverty and crime and not religiosity and crime. That makes you look silly as does your claim that charities are "atheist churches" lol.

I doubt whether it's been measured after adjusting for wealth and income etc but it's axiomatic that atheists will be dodgier as most of them seem to be moral slackers.

If you can't identify the moral slacker, it must be you.

Well I haven't openly denounced Satanism recently, so I do have doubts about myself.

We all know though who keeps making stuff up then can't back anything up. In my eyes your intellectual dishonest, aka lying. So I'd argue you're the most obvious sinner here.

Christians disbelieve in every single God except for Jesus, that's very negative too. Not only is that negative however, but Christians also discriminate against the other Gods, where Atheists do not. Perhaps if we believe in more Gods, we'll all be more positive yes?

Exactly what is it that you think that your list proves ? That being religious leads to crime ? Please try to be a bit more grown up in your responses.

Given those choices, I'm less surprised. I think this survey is measuring the decline of adherence to revealed religion rather than (just) an increase in atheism. Not many people my age (early thirties) would identify as atheist. But I only know one person in that bracket who attends Mass regularly.
