I always find it funny when people say, us, atheists are less trusting because we don't follow a religion. If anything we are more morally justified, then any religous person on earth. Religion is based on old beliefs which supports salavery, killing, beating your wife and children, and other unmoral beliefs in today's society. As time changes some old beliefs are found to be unmoral and unjust.

We, Atheist, are more morally just, because we see life as not infinite, but finite. We understand how precious life is, while someone believing in GOD has less care what they do on earth as long as they get into some utopia type state, like heaven.
Anybody with common sense would know that uptopia is not reachable. What about racist, sexist, etc... people who follow the bible, but do all they can to stop others they don't like from sucess. Is there a place in heaven for them? I can't stand country music, what if I am in heaven next to somebody who loves listening to country music. Of course this is off subject, because nobody really knows what it would be like up there, now do they?

We, Athesit, believe that people should have freedom, and anything that takes away another person's life or freedom is the worst aspect possible. Unlike religous people, we think for ourselves. We don't follow beliefs blindly set forth from more then a millenium ago. We challenge and question everything, we use logic and common sense to figure things out for the common good of society.

I personally would never want to harm another person's life, culture, etc.. I know that if you take away from a group of people, like the poor, then it would end up getting back to you. I'm not talking about karama, but everybody is connected somehow. If we, the people, try to ignore a fact like there is a very large group of americans living on less then $15,000/ year and basic living expenses rise every year, THEN it is only logic that some people would die, or result to stealing to survive. Everything in life in connected and has an effect. People interconnecting with each other is one giant Dynamical System.

Now in their study they said that atheist make up 3%, which I think is either a lie or very wrong. I would go as boldly say that about 1 in 3 people that I have meet are atheist. Either they are truthful to themselves and say they don't believe in god, they are agnostic and don't care either way, they only follow religion to be on the "safe side" (very stupid) even though they don't believe in god, or they lie to themselves and try very hard to try to believe.
