Atheism: A sign of Psychopathy?

[Post-Keynesian Economics]

Actually, I think the UN should create an unholy land specifically for the atheists of the world. They can put it on the east side of the Mediterranean Sea, nobody wants that area anyway.

What about Antarctica? No one really owns that place, and besides, we can look for magical beings down there.

I heard someone found the unicorn lair down there.

What am i even reading? I am not a atheist or a theist but Psychopathy has little to nothing to do with either and THESE are the facts.

Not atheist or theist?

I want an explanation.

And on topic. I am Theist but Not believing in god is not a mental illness. Atheism is a choice. Mental illnesses or not a choice.

Honestly Daily Telegraph, I thought you were a step above the Daily Mail.

Also, slipping a casual 'leftie' in the second sentence? Impressive.

Why do we live in a cave, anyways? I keep saying that we should get a nice house with a white picket fence, but noooo. We need a cave. Fuck the cave! I want to sleep in a bed that's not covered in moss and bat shit!

I've been petitioning that we build a mansion on the coast in British Columbia for years.

No, atheists worship science and Darwin, remember? So we should build a giant floating spaceship in the sky shaped like a middle finger pointing at heaven to live in.

Seriously though, I'm an atheist, and I'm not a psychopath. (Choose not to believe me if you wish, of course) You must be pretty cynical if you think humans need religion to stop them from killing babies.

[Tulija]

Or are psychopaths, devoid of the encumberings of emotion, more likely to deduce and see the cold, harsh realities?

Whether or not they are more inclined to logical conclusions, your presumption is pretty silly.

[Aeken]

Hahaha, nope.

Could be agnostic.

Shit guys, he's on to us. The the Atheism Cave!

We have a CAVE?!? Why was I never told!

Forsrs: I'm not a psychopath. Pretty sure Christians don't want to be discriminated against, so how about you not do this to Atheists?

[Wind in the Willows]

Shit guys, he's on to us. The the Atheism Cave!

OH MY GOD!

[Post-Keynesian Economics]

Wait guys, maybe we're neglecting all the science in the article he posted. Let's be fair and take it apart piece by piece.

Keep saying things like that and you'll have people thinking you've got a soul.

If having a soul means I get a dry bed, then sign me up! Hell, I'll take two!

[Oneracon]

If atheism is psychopathy then religion would qualify as mass hysteria over inevitable mortality... neither of these are true.

jesus, at this rate we're gonna need popcorn by the truckloads.

That explains it.

Yeah, but all the unicorns escaped to North Korea before anyone could get their hands on them.

Ironically the more Religious countries, tend to be the more crime and poverty infested.

To be fair, it is under blogs, as opposed to an actual journalistic piece.

... Science? In the Torygraph? Oh, you warm the cockles of my sociopathic heart. Next you'll be saying that babies are people, and that we can't have our annual May Fetus Cookout!

That's because they don't follow a real religion like Christianity

Dunananana! Athiest Man!

Seriously, this topic doesn't make sense. Though it's potential for a good argument, I suppose. Like the infamous 'is homosexuality genetic?' debate.

I don't know, I'm pretty fucking cynical and I think the exact opposite.

Not true. It depends on the Government. Africa isn't the most religious countries and this is where most stuff goes down.

The problem in America is racial tensions.

Oh wait, you're serious.....Then let me laugh even harder.

What’s more, these benefits are visible even if you adjust for the fact that believers are less likely to smoke, drink or take drugs. And let’s not forget that religious people are nicer. They certainly give more money to charity than atheists, who are, according to the very latest survey, the meanest of all.
So which is the smart party, here? Is it the atheists, who live short, selfish, stunted little lives – often childless – before they approach hopeless death in despair, and their worthless corpses are chucked in a trench (or, if they are wrong, they go to Hell)? Or is it the believers, who live longer, happier, healthier, more generous lives, and who have more kids, and who go to their quietus with ritual dignity, expecting to be greeted by a smiling and benevolent God?
Obviously, it’s the believers who are smarter. Anyone who thinks otherwise is mentally ill.

The list goes on. In the last few years scientists have revealed that believers, compared to non-believers, have better outcomes from breast cancer, coronary disease, mental illness, Aids, and rheumatoid arthritis. Believers even get better results from IVF. Likewise, believers also report greater levels of happiness, are less likely to commit suicide, and cope with stressful events much better. Believers also have more kids.

The source that has been used by the OP has a major bias here.....

MAJOR BIAS.
