"I think there are evil people as well as nice people"

Thanks for the scoop.

No one would say that every religious person is good, or that every atheist is bad. But religion, at least as defined as judeo christian principles, usually tips the scales for the better. There is no data I am aware of, that refutes that. It's also common sense unless you are bigoted against religion.

There's also this little thing called the US Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of religion.

Also, both Scott and I have stated, correctly, that societies that have done away with religion, have generally been some of the darkest sh*tholes in the history of the planet. It's also true that the Judeo-Christian principles upon which this country was literally founded, have served the entire world pretty well.

But why let facts get in the way of a good rant?
