We are apparently based on this research[1], the best of humanity :) Some excerpts: In the U.S. states with the highest percentages of atheists, the murder rate is lower than average. In the most religious U.S. states, the murder rate is higher than average. Only 0.2% of U.S. prisoners are atheists. Atheists are more tolerant towards women's and homosexuals' rights. Atheism and secularism correlate with high levels of education, and low levels of racial prejudice. Atheists physically abuse their children less often than others, and more often encourage them to think independently. In Sweden, the most secular country in the world according to Zuckerman, the charitable aid given is the highest as a proportion of GDP.
