Atheist always want us to believe that our countries are doing so much better now that people are getting less religious!
But all that i see is:
-more depression and less simple happiness
-more organised crime (done by our governments)
-more rudeness
-more stress
What is your idea on this?
The exact opposite is true... Atheist countries have the least crime, and the happiest people Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, etc... predominantly atheist countries top this list, and all the countries at the bottom are highly religious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report1: Norway (atheist)
2: Denmark (atheist)
3: Iceland (atheist)
4: Switzerland (atheist)
5: Finland (atheist)
6: Netherlands (atheist)
7: Canada (atheist)
8: New Zealand (atheist/christian)
9: Australia (atheist/christian)
10: Sweden (atheist)
11: Israel (jewish/atheist)
...
14: United States (christian)

Your data is pretty interesting but I don't i think it is very true. I did an Internet search on some of the successful countries on your list, most still identifies as Christians... The claim that developed Western countries are full of atheists is myth. Blame Bigotry for bad behaviors not Religion. You did not conduct such research properly, if at all... Every country that I listed as primarily atheist has a strong majority of self-identifying atheists living in that country. If there is no religion with a clear majority, I list the religion with plurality first, and the secondary religion second. If I am wrong, please list the country you disagree with, and the percent you think each religion has in that specific country, and I will update the post if you are correct (which you won't be because I've already checked every country I listed) Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_NorwayAccording to 2016 data from annual social-cultural study Norwegian Monitor (Norsk Monitor), 39 percent of Norvegians responded with "No" to the question to the question “Do you believe in God?”, while 37 percent said "Yes" and 27 percent said that they did not know.
I lump agnostics with atheists... because, they are "soft-atheists" (I similarly lump protestants, catholics, mormons, etc into "christian", so fair is fair)... so with Norway, we have 39% atheist + 27% agnostic = 66% atheist... 37% religious (mostly christian)... If you don't answer "yes" to the question, "do you believe in God?", you are an atheist As a result of 66% vs 37% is predominantly one-sided, I label Norway as Atheist... Israel however, is closer to 50%/50%, so I put (Jewish/Atheist) because it is more accurate/honest that way (half of Jewish adherents do not believe in God, which is different from christians/muslims, ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_atheism "A 2011 study found that half of all American Jews have doubts about the existence of God, compared to 10–15% of other American religious groups") Also note: This is not "my data"... this is an independent international report based on numerous variables that has been conducted for years. I simply added the predominant religion of each country in parenthesis (), using the most recent data/polling I could find (2016-2017) Well, I got my info from this Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_DenmarkExcerpt from the site: "According to the 2012 Eurobarometer , 71% of Danish people are Christians (64% are Protestant), 25% are non-religious and 3% are members of other religions." I did a search on other developed countries on your list still thesame. I still insist on discouraging Bigotry. If this is done, you may be shocked the numbers of atheist/agnostic in developing countries is higher than thought. The stats could even be thesame everywhere. People are forced to become what they don't want to be in these countries. County like North Korea and Cuba identify as athiests but If the freedom is there, the number of Religious people could really be far higher than athiests. You will be surprised that Japanese and South Korea have more Religious people too. Denmark is a tough one to pinpoint due to the huge drive towards atheist/secularism in the past 5 years... You are looking at 2012, and assuming 2017 is similar, but it is not... You are also using a different standard for religiosity... Many people will claim to simultaneously not believe in God, but still call themselves christian... to me, these are atheists because they do not believe in God... going to church doesn't make you a christian, believing in God makes you a christian Here is April 2015: http://cphpost.dk/general/denmark-still-predominantly-non-religious-says-expert.htmlGallup claims that 52 percent of the Danish population associates as either atheist or non-religious – but this figure is significantly lower than previous surveys that directly asked people whether they were religious.
A survey in 2008, also by Gallup, revealed Denmark to be in the top three least religious countries in the world
How could Denmark be in the top 3 least religious countries in the world if they are 70% christian? Lets move on to 2016: Danes leaving the church in drovesRecord numbers leave Church of Denmark after atheist advertsThousands of people have left the Church of Denmark following a nationwide advertising campaign by the country's atheist society.
Between April and June, 10,000 people left the church - the highest number of registered withdrawals since 2007.
 Notice Denmark sitting around 19% religious, while USA is around 65%? You simply cannot claim Denmark is a Christian nation... It is entirely secular... Denmark is almost the least religious country on the planet! |

He may be an asshole in the outside and his attitude sucks unlike obama he didn't bomb invade countries, bomb innocent people, bomb hospitals killed countless of lives including women and children. In fact when trump was seated as president and in power of the united states the bombings has stoppes tge conflict in the middle east countries has calmed and since then when trump has been president the US government has minimized their interference in some countries internal affairs like the country Philippines that has issued to break the ties with the US government if they wont stop interfering. Of course it was obama's time.
It amazes me what people claim without any evidence to back it up Bombings have increased 50% with Trump over Obama... that's the facts... you claim they went down, where is your evidence? U.S.-led coalition increases airstrikes by 50% against Islamic StateTrump increased the military budget by $50,000,000,000 (10%) Trump sold $500,000,000,000 worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia (including illegal cluster bombs) The first attack Trump did as Commander in Chief killed an innocent 8-year old AMERICAN girl! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/01/yemen-strike-eight-year-old-american-girl-killed-al-awlaki |

Everyone do believe in God, but in different form and named. Lets respect it.
Respect, like a PhD, is earned... not given for free to someone who does not deserve it  |

I agree, also it gave us another thing:
- More science stupidity and people worshiping the scientific community becauset that's their new god in their Secular Humanist world. So they beileve Al Gore and whatever other crap the scientific majority pushes out.
It always amuses me when someone mocks science while using a computer, cell phone, and all the wonderful things science has brought us (while failing to spell words properly) Without science the life expectancy would be 30 years old, you wouldn't have a car, cell phone, computer, electricity, etc... you would be living like the Amish Hey stupid now that we're down to personal attacks the scientific didn't make those things happen it was private corporations and the military funding universities that did that. Now those corporations want a carbon tax and more enslavement so they push the scientific community to run fake climate studies and drug trials with faked results to submit to the FDA. What personal attack? Are you mad that I pointed out your poor spelling? That isn't a personal attack, it's simply an observation... the more religious a person is, the worse their spelling... it simply points out the lack of education surrounding religious folk... probably why they are so opposed to science (they don't understand it due to poor quality education) People always seem to fear that which they do not understand... don't be scared... do some research into things you don't understand (like atheism) and you will not fear it If you think I made a personal attack, do you not admit you started it? "More science stupidity" "So they beileve(sp) Al Gore and whatever other crap" Sounds very offensive to me... ignorant as well "people worshiping the scientific community" Really? You seriously think Atheists "worship" science? Are you that stupid? Do you think Atheists worship Satan too? Where do you get these ideas? the scientific didn't make those things happen Learn some grammar! Are you trying to say science didn't extend life expectancy (medicine), invent computers, cell phones and cars? How do you think things get invented without science? God made computers and cars? |

Because humans like gold and that God wants to give everything that a typical human desires especially to those that did well in their mortal lives. The bible speaks of various things that are beyond of what nature and life could offer. Some are even impossible to achieve but even the impossible can be possible when it comes to God. Roads are made of Gold for people to walk on, even houses are made of gold for people to live in. What i know is that the Golden City isnt made for angels, but specifically for humans.
Minor pet-peeve... You don't " KNOW" shit about "the Golden City" because you have never been there... you have never spoken with anyone who has been there... you only guess/speculate/believe that a Golden City exists... you don't KNOW it for certain... you have zero evidence of any Golden City (The bible does not even mention a "Golden City" or golden houses... it merely mentions a single street paved with gold in one sentence) When people don't actually read their bible... they just make up bullshit and spread it around claiming it to be true (pro-tip: 99% of "christians" have not read the bible) |

Because religious people are too ignorant/gullible for their own health
Religious people hurt themselves and their family and society as a whole by neglecting/hindering science/medicine/etc
Religion is a thorn in the side of progress

0°C = 273°K
Assuming by twice as cold you mean half as hot, it should be 136°K or -136°C
Which, of course, makes no sense... so what the fuck is this thread about? Simply spam to increase your post count?
