Religion provides a moral structure for those unwilling or incapable of providing their own. This includes a very substantial portion of the population. Those who can't accept faith carry a heavy burden. Who's better off?

Societies with less religion seem to be better off. It doesn't include a very substantial portion of my population.pic.twitter.com/dYnCTQQmv9

Meh. Not "belonging" to a particular religion does not mean "not religious." Being atheist, I would ask if one believed in some kind of god or higher power as opposed to not. Is being better off the cause or the effect? Just pondering.

It does largely mean that tho. I think more people believe than say so but it's not much of a thing here. We tend to get quite embarrassed if someone starts talking as tho a god exists. Very secular. Both I think. People get less religious when their needs are met in this life.pic.twitter.com/pGNR1RhNZY

Interesting to be atheist in US. Reaction to saying so in public is bit off-putting. Oddly,
@jordanbpeterson provides great framework to BE atheist though he may not agree.

A broader consensus that there is more than one way to do this, and more than one type of human (not to mention other variables) from which to observe results of this might help, no? AA example is interesting.

I think that's what I said.

You did. Reframing aloud to better fit the idea in here *points at head*

I was raised as an Atheist. My dad refused confirmation at 12 because of disbelief. I don't know anything different. My only serious exposure to religions was during weddings and funerals. I am kind of Feral. I have had days that I wish I had a crutch.
