The idea of "progress" in atheist terms is itself childish and delusional, "prosperity" as high as the standards of any atheist are is simply not sustainable long term.
I am not a proponent of atheism or any other belief.I was merely point out the inverse correlation trend between religiously and prosperity of a nation.
My take is that Religion is only good till it limits itself to personal belief.
But often this is not the case,more often it usually become a tool of suppression and repression.
You can see most "religious countries" are often the biggest violators of human rights.
As for your religion being the cause of retardation and evil in society, 97% or something of your school shooters are atheists. Atheists lead the world in the worst statistics like suicide, depression, drug abuse etc.
Attributing gun violence in US to Atheism is plain stupid. China is mostly atheist and so are many other countries,why gun violence is not prevalent over there ?
US has a gun culture since their formation which transcends their religious belief and customs.This along with their lax gun laws allows for such violence.They sell guns like we sell tomato and potatoes.
If India didn't have such stringent anti gun laws,we would have witnessed a far bigger gun violence than prevalent in the US.
And If you check the available statistics then you will find that deeply religious countries are top rank holders in murder,crime,terrorism,rape,durg abuse and every other nihilist activities
How exactly would allowing radical globohomo LGTV behavior help our society or make it greater? Which society has it helped anyway?
Homosexuality is not a mental disorder rather it is a normal and natural variation in human sexuality as per science and United Nations and whether you accept it or not a significant portion of Indian and global population are gays.We have to treat them as humans and not discriminate against them just because it's against our religion.
It's quite laughable that many religious people find homosexuality to be offensive but have no problem with
first cousin marriage which often leads to genetic disorder and other health problems.
America?
>Wages haven't risen relative to inflation for 97.5% of people since 1970
>Education 1000x as expensive
>Vehicles 300x as expensive
>Health care 3500x as expensive
You are talking of an America where an average person can afford to buy high end SUV's
You are talking of an America where close to 10% of the population are millionaires.
No doubt there are struggling families even there but the average population is well off
It was under religion and traditional cultural values that America was progressing. It is under Globohomo degeneracy and atheist liberalism that it is at the present juncture.
The United States is still numero uno in the world and is far ahead of the next big power China.
United States has the ability to attract the best of the best talents available in the world which ensures it remains the leader in cutting edge science and technology. And They will continue to dominate the world for the foreseen future.
