In the categories of lowest infant mortality, gross domestic product per capita, economic equality, environmental protection, aid to poor nations, establishment of social justice and quality of life, it is again the most irreligious nations which make up most of the top 20. Not surprisingly, Zuckerman cherry-picked liberally biased categories and conveniently left out vital categories which America dominates like rich bankers per capita and rate of weekly church attendance.

Stand your ground against tofu-eating, progressive evidence-based thinkers like Zuckerman. Let the invisible hand of the free-market work. Other than less violence, less poverty, health care for everyone, better public schools, better wages, better benefits, better government and a cleaner environment, you never know what America would look like without religion and unfettered capitalism.

Yeah, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao did their best to create godless nations. I guess we should be bummed that they failed.

Again with the Hitler/atheist comparison. Here, have a history book, read, enjoy.

God seems to have favored the top dogs down through the ages. Whether with his/her help or not they still seem to be doin' pretty good for themselves. Waht do they need him/her for?

Imagine there's no Heaven. - - John Lennon

goddamnatheist -- I never noticed before, but no matter how fast or slow you say it... it still flows.

Zuckerman is right. The truth often hurts.

If you're suggesting these men were evil, your example is not fitting. These are lightweights compared to the biblical god. Can't you think of anyone worse than these folks?
