Religion makes for better peopole. That is a statistically correct answer, obviously at the individual level there are lots of good people and bad people in either set. Just look at big cities in the US vs more conservative communities and tell me wehre you tend to find more reliable, helpful people.

I went from a atheist --> Christian over the last 7 years mostly because I had 3 kids along the way and I figured the amount of collateral damage I can do to the world is 4X now than when I didn't have kids. Also moved from the lefty utopia of Portland to Southen Utah in the process. I'm yet to find anything in my reasoning to be incorrect. People are more tolerant, helpful, reliable when they give up the narcissism of the atheiestic left.

Feel free to change my mind.
