Religious people are more tolerant of different viewpoints than atheists, according to researchers at a Catholic university.
The findings also said that the strength of a person's belief in either atheism or religion is directly correlated to how intolerant they are.

No, a New Study Doesn’t Show Atheists Are More Closed-Minded Than Believers
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/fri…

Atheists Tend to Be More Tolerant Than Christians
On this tolerance scale, Christians who believe in God rank the lowest.https://www.alternet.org/belief/…
& for good measure:
Study Shows Non-Religious Kids Are More Altruistic and Generous Than Religious Ones
- Morning_star-5
The results further suggest that, at least in secularized Western countries, where unbelief has progressively become normative, nonbelievers may be less socialized and less motivated to imagine, understand, and appreciate others’ perspectives.

The Catholics in my extended family are acutely aware of how some atheist friends and family can be slightly overly zealous, and as such go out of their way not to discuss religion or in any way antagonise - despite being just about the most open, tolerant, non-judgemental people you could meet.
I'm no fan of religion but I'm a fan of the few religious people I know.
Anecdotally at least, Morning_Star's article seems to have a grain of truth to it.
- Not really. Respectfully.monospaced

- @mono. As someone who regularly wants facts and not myths, you seem to be ignoring the science in favour of unqualified sweeping statements.Morning_star

- I do appreciate that you are sharing an actual study though. I feel like you and I can argue but not fight, historically.monospaced
- My main issue with the study is the method of determining tolerance, and of course defining things to be tolerant of.monospaced

While organized religion, like any and all institutions of power in the modern age, can go fuck itself, i will say that as I've aged having the idea of a communal set of beliefs that exists beyond the sociopolitical (i.e. any of the -isms there) ... a moral sense of joy and peace and a way to deal with the tragic mechanics of this world ... I dunno.
It just goes to show how fucked up people are that these organizations that proclaim peace and love contribute so much to segregation and violence. Because it truly is an important and wonderful idea, the idea of love as a way of social inspiration.

It's not entirely clear why non-religious people are more intelligent - but the difference varies with age. At University the divide is the strongest.
Whereas later in life, more intelligent people are more likely to get and stay married which makes them less reliant on the attachment that the function of religion provides.
- I think it's pretty fucking clear why less intelligent people are religious.... don't you?set
- Badly worded but you get my gistset

Hey QBN,
I just wanted to say that I'm a KJV Bible believer. I'm pretty sure a lot of members here aren't fully aware of what's actually in the Bible and the ultimate fallacy of religion.
Sadly a large part of modern society through media, ignorance, and whatever other influences, has a pretty messed up view of God, Jesus Christ and what it all means.
I'm not saying I understand everything and am infallible. I'm just saying, religion today has no resemblance to Christ, God or the gospel.
If you want to chat about it or discuss anything, ask. I'll try and answer your questions to the best of my knowledge and always in truth.
Thanks
Robb.
- Firstly why a Christian credo rather than any other religion? Also, what lead you to KJV Christianity over any other of the Christian derivatives.Morning_star

- Explain in full detail how the holy trinity works, but only if it’s relevant, please.monospaced
- lol @ setmoldero
- @Morning Star _ All the derivatives have practices which appear nowhere in scripture. So I followed the Word rather than their teaching.robthelad
- Religions are a hierarchical system, knowledge at the top, teaching at the bottom. If you want to speak to God/Jesus you speak to a man, who relays the message.robthelad
- Bible teaching is a personal relationship with Christ, one to one, so no man can come between or pervert the teaching of Christ.robthelad
- The worldwide flood happened, yes.robthelad
- The Bible has the "godhead" - God, Jesus, Holy Spirit. The trinity comes from Catholocism which is adapted from paganism.robthelad
- I can't explain how, God is a higher being with higher understanding, I don't know how the three are one, but I trust it.robthelad
- @Mikro - The last supper painting is obviously an artistic interpretation, but I think they all sat on the floor, around a small table in an upstairs room.robthelad
- So basically your whole reasoning for being a Christian is just that... 'I don't know how, but I trust it'.... ?set
- You can see why people laugh at religious types, right?set
- I didn't state my reasoning for being a Christian. I just acknowledge I don't understand the mechanics of the Godhead.robthelad
- There's limited space here so I'm trying, maybe failing in areas, to express my understanding in a paragraph or less.robthelad
- In response, I'd say I don't know the mechanics of the Godhead the same way an atheist doesn't know the mechanics of the big bang.robthelad
- Fact The first bible was written in Greek.
Fact 2 Greeks are the biggest cons out there._niko - There's evidence for the big bangset
- The big bang is a theory arrived at my evaluating evidence. You believe in something that has zero evidence and rewards like a ridiculous fairy tale.set
