Is Atheism Only for the Upper Class? Socioeconomic Differences Among the Religiously Unaffiliated

[Phillip McCleod]

24. well i'm not surprised you don't remember..

..anyone would have lost track by now. you have my sympathies.

and i have never 'insisted' that all muslims are abusive. how many times must this be repeated before it finally sinks in? how many pointed snarks must float by before the light bulb goes on?

if i oppose the idea of neoliberal economics, does that mean i hate president clinton, who signed NAFTA?

atheists oppose the very *idea* of religion. we.. no *I* think that religious beliefs have a net negative influence on society, because they hold a widespread and accepted.. no.. *privileged* position in said society, and are *commonly* used to justify the most horrific of deeds, as well as noble ones.

in other words, religion doesn't work to make people behave in a more civilized fashion toward one another. they are counter-productive to social progress. they're *in the fucking way*.

i suggest they get out of the way, because good people are coming through. good.. *determined* people.
