The very idea that we get a moral compass from religion is fallacious. Numerous studies show that the more secular - and less religious - a community, state or country is, the more functional it is. In the U.S., the most religious states show a direct correlation with: higher rates of divorce; higher rates of illiciit and prescription drug use; lower rates of educational attainment; higher rates of crime, gun crime and violent crime; and thigher rates of poverty, to name a few. These facts can be easily verified. Now Cold Steel, does it look like us atheists are angry, lost souls?
The same thing holds true internationally. In a landmark 2005 study published in the Journal of Religion & Society Volume 7 (2005) (Cross-National Correlations of Quantifiable Societal Health with Popular Religiosity and Secularism in the Prosperous Democracies) the researcher found that, in "almost all regards the highly secular democracies consistently enjoy low rates of societal dysfunction,demonstrating that widespread religious belief does not improve societal health, and that moreover there is a positive correlation between a first-world country's level of religiosity (e.g., the degree of confidence that a traditional monotheistic God exists) and level of social dysfunction (e.g., homicide rates)."
I can go on all night with this, CS. You are like so many other theists on this site; you spew irrational crap based on your feelings, beliefs, shallow thoughts, limited expereience and one dimensional 'knowledge.' And like my ex-wife and so many of my ex-GFs, you open your mouth (or type) based on those feelings, absent any real evidence or data. I'm embarrassed.
