What criteria did they use to come to this conclusion......?

See above. You can find more by googling terms like "innate morality," "innate ethics," "hardwired morality," etc. Steven Pinker has put some work out on the subject, among others. There's quite a bit of literature out there at this point.

I stopped reading when this article stated that tests were done on babies under 24 months...

If all the babies they tested were at least a year old, the babies were demonstrating a lot of what their parents instilled in them......so you can't say it was something that babies are born with....

A lot of yall must not have kids....

Hopefully the Atlantic article is better

Edit:
I see where they claim to have tested 3 month olds.......But leaves out too many variables......Way too many....

I think we as Americans have become a society of whiners and complainers who always need something to vent about....

It is more than obvious that 90% of Christians are just that in title only, and not practice...

I doubt most atheists can tell you how their day to day lives are adversely effected by people who believe in a higher power

Well what's the benchmark. If we talk crime which nation has more? There are more true believers among the citizens then the givernment

For the average citizen.. most are pretty moral in saudia Arabia

The elites there dont even practice a religion and the are supported by non religious groups, are allies with corrupt western nations like the us... and they oppress religious people.

An atheistic society will ultimately lead to Facism. Started with Lenin and ended with Stalin, Musseloini, Pot and Mao. Combined they killed over 100 million.

Lol
Those countries governments being in shambles led to fascism.

 

[Devilinurear]

Did we all not learn this in school? The first people they went after were religious and disabled. I'm not bringing new information to the table its already done. If God is removed something has to take the place and most people place other people on that stand.

Lol
They always go after the minorities they blamed they blamed there issue on.

And before you jump on religion it was always a small ethnic group.

Also you think mussolini was going after the catholic church. Lol

So basically, the country has a straight up theocratic government and you still found a way to somehow blame atheists for it.
