The Sydney Morning Herald reports on a survey carried out by researchers at Harvard University.
Their most conspicuously controversial finding is that religious people make better citizens and neighbours. Putnam and Campbell write that ”for the most part, the evidence we review suggests that religiously observant Americans are more civic, and in some respects simply ‘nicer’. On every measurable scale, religious Americans are more generous, more altruistic and more involved in civic life than their secular counterparts.
They are more likely to give blood, money to a homeless person, financial aid to family or friends, a seat to a stranger and to spend time with someone who is ”a bit down”.
Damm sight nicer than smug pontificating preaching objectivists, that is for sure.

And as if to confirm the point have a look at the comments section following the main article. The usual suspects [atheists, humanists, liberal ‘Christians’] ranting about how hateful and intolerant Christians are.
Maybe it’s not so much “how nice Christians are”, but rather how nasty (and getting nastier) those who hold to an atheistic and amoral world view are.
As an example, one only needs to consider the hatred and bile spewed out by the atheistic Cultural Marxists on the Left against those who make up the vast majority of the Tea Partiers [Sarah Palin et al].

Tell that to the Christian Republican base who won’t vote for Mormon Romney under any circumstances.
The Washington Republicans are desperate to find some way to lose to Oby…..looking good RINOs.

Nothing wrong with being an atheist, it’s an empirical thing.
Genuine christians obey the basic rules that make civilized society and that is a fact and it does not matter if they believe in fairy tales.
Respect to them for that.
