Black people seem to be more religious, but have the worst morals in my opinion. Thoughts?

Atheists:

Make a bold, unprovable declaration regarding a deity
Congregate
Proselytize
Have intellectual leaders who speak at large functions
Have social organizations
Attempt to raise their children to their beliefs
Believe their deity belief to be correct
Consider those of other religions to be ignorant and inferior
Get offended when you insult their beliefs
Have their worldview molded by their deity belief
Etc etc etc


Pretty sure atheism is a religion

It's ok. This is a combo thread. If anything, it's extra points. The trifecta is a religion-homosexuality-race thread...I've yet to see one executed well.

Aren't most east Asian countries at least mostly atheist? Japs worship their ancestors more or less.

That would jive with the higher IQ hypothesis.

Finally, an easy one

Morality and religion are two separate things which often have no correlation. Lots of "religious" people are shitty human beings, and lots of nonbelievers are greater people. Besides, the kind of people who are only good because they believe God is watching are actually shitty people at heart.

The higher IQs in nonbelievers is largely due to confounding factors such as socioeconomic status, country of origin, access to education, etc. It isn't that being smarter inherently makes you less likely to be religious.

The biggest correlation with belief is age of exposure. The younger you are exposed to a given religion, the more likely you are to follow it in adulthood.

So, if I read that right, what you're saying is that non-white people are better parents than white people.

I agree.

Atheists are narrow minded fools a lot of the time and almost as annoying as planned parenthood assholes.
