What does religion answer?
Its one thing to think you have some interesting ideas...but at some point you need to start PROVING what you say.
Otherwise what you say isn't necessarily wrong, but you're not going forward to show that its true either.
For starters, atheists have shorter lifespans than those with religious values
For starters, atheists are more likely to commit suicide than those with religion values
For starters, science does not prove anything, because technically, its all hearsay, God is not sitting around answering scientists questions. Lets say someone made a laptop, and put the laptop in no mans land, and then the locals are now trying to figure out what the laptop is, and going on in their own "intuition"...oh jesus does not exist because I cant see him LOL...the keyboard thats electromagneticphysics LOL
For starters, atheists dont have core value to stand on, what is the morality...not to say all religious folks are perfect, but what are there are values?
Atheists have a significantly higher rate of depression than non-atheist groups.

On average, atheists earn 35% less in household income per year than non-atheists.
Atheists have a higher college drop-out rate than non-atheists and score an average 2.03 GPA compared to 3.13 for non-atheists.
The rate of birth defects is 14% higher among couples who identify themselves as atheists.
While Catholics top the charts for number of abortions per year, atheists top the charts for the number of miscarriages and infanticide cases, where the mother murdered her baby after it was born.

A surprising documentary on PBS public television interviewed people after they saw an actor stage a collapse in the street to try and classify who was most likely to help and who was most likely to ignore the person. They repeated the scenario several hundred times over a period of three years to get a sampling based on age, gender, race, religious affiliation and economic status. In every instance, atheists ranked at the bottom of the list in terms of their willingness to help, unless the victim appeared to be an attractive white woman. They ranked lower than any other group when the victim appeared to be homeless or affiliated with a religion, such as a Hasidic Jew or a priest/nun. The documentary's producers were stunned to find that Christians, Jews and Muslims, in spite of their religious differences, were more inclined to help each other than atheists were inclined to help anybody.
religion, evolution, science, should all go hand in hand
like i said i understand it, the world is catered to the religious who shun non-believers...they are well within their rights to voice their opinions and complaints ...or in your words "bytch" on the net. We've been doing the same thing to them for centuries.
is that why churches get tax exemptions? or how about
You cannot be serious. For one atheist is a relative small percent of the us/world population, and most "atheist" don't identify themselves, so how can any of these statistics hold weight? Please go sit down somewhere, you're making us all look stupid.
So you are just admitting that we do in fact oppress them... If you are a Christian you should know there is no way for us to be oppressed, our salvation is already set in stone and there are way more religious nuts than atheist ones simply because we greatly outnumber them. Im sorry that you cannot see that.
No wonder you ain't provide a source for that article
