Atheists Do It Better

Professor of psychology Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi profiled a likely atheist to be this person - “We can say that atheists show themselves to be less authoritarian and suggestible, less dogmatic, less prejudiced, more tolerant of others, law-abiding, compassionate, conscientious, and well-educated. They are of high intelligence, and many are committed to the intellectual and scholarly life.”

1. HAPPINESS
Scandinavian countries tend to be the least religious countries of the Western world and yet are consistently ranked the highest in the polls that measure a happiness index.

2. INTELLIGENCE
Atheists tend to have higher IQs

3. BETTER JOBS
This follows from the previous reason - more intelligent people tend to do better in the workplace.

4. SELF-ESTEEM & SELF-RELIANCE
These are two sides of the same coin. Atheists are not being told that they are guilty and sinful, as is the case with many religious teachings.

5. PROGRESS
Atheists tend to value scientific discovery more

6. HEALTH
Atheists believe in science and would not stand in the way of medical treatments on religious grounds.

7. PEACEFULNESS
Atheists do not start wars or commit acts of terrorism for religious reasons, just to prove their deity is the correct one.

8. SCEPTICISM
Atheists are generally skeptical and tend to look at issues from a rational, often scientific standpoint that demands proof.

9. SOCIAL ISSUES
Atheists tend to be very involved in social justice issues.

10. BETTER SEX
It wouldn't be a worthwhile list if it didn't talk about sex. There have been studies that showed atheists having better sex lives than religious people simply due to not feeling guilty about it.

10 Reasons Atheists Do It Better

Biggest benefit of being an atheist is in not having to justify your life or choices according to some relic of a book.

Not to be too serious but, I never understood the "benefits" of religious belief or really what benefits religion might provide which couldn't be easily obtained without religious belief.

Of course an atheist would never object to medical treatment on religious grounds. But sometimes they do oppose them, even for other people, based on personal feelings rather than research and evidence.

This is why it is so disappointing to me when Atheists here on RF present arguments which are dogmatic, prejudiced, and intolerant.

But I suppose we are all hypocrites sooner or later.

Those aren't real atheists. :rolleyes:

Well... I'll let you tell them that :)

But seriously, I don't think the 2 are mutually exclusive. I think a person can be an Atheist and accidentally fall into the trap of being hypocritical.

Thank you for pointing this out. :megaphone::megaphone: :eek::oops::confused:

For the betterment of humanity, I will be restricting my diet to tofu, lavender, viola, nasturtium, and oxalis. Maybe the occasional papaya...

You're welcome. :thumbsup:

That's not surprising to see.

Nobody to tell you how terrible and wretched a person you are.

Nobody to prompt you to go forcibly against ones natural Human Nature that causes one to go bat**** crazy in attempts to remain in compliance with even crazier doctrinal restrictions.

Nobody to tell you you need to be saved over some inherited and contagious invented disease or condition called sin of which people don't even have the foggiest idea of what exactly sin is.

No need to waste time in a room full of people were you have to stand up sing a song sit down listen to sermon stand up sing a song sit down put money in plate stand up sing a song sit down just to be told to stand up and say a prayer sit down listen to closing statement stand up sing a song sit down and then everybody rushes out of church and runs to the bar.

Atheists have really inflated egos.

Could you show me an example of a dogmatic, prejudiced and intolerant argument presented on here by an atheist?
btw It doesn't fall into those categories if it is following current scientific knowledge
