If you believe that hell doesn't exist, then what is the point of sinning ?

But what would you feel about him, sitting at home, wanting to get out cash, but feeling to scared to leave the house?
People seem far more concerned with highlighting this issue to make some tenuous claim that atheists are discriminated against legally but happy to give blatant assertions that religion equals latent criminality a free pass. Based on very fuzzy evidence at that. Who is biased here exactly. |

You would think with the lack of moral fibres that God teaches, they would be responsible for more crimes. However, all you hear about is "Muslim rapes young woman" "paster touched young boys" You almost never hear "Atheist robs bank" "Atheist stabs Yorkshire man" etc..
If I didn't know better, I'd say there was an agenda. |

Some Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims have murdered their own daughters because they 'dishonoured' the family by dating boys not from their religious group, so clearly in these cases, a belief in God did nothing to stop them committing the worst crime going - a woman being killed by the very man who was meant to protect her in life. |

The vast majority of violent crime is committed by males, so you need locking up Sulla, just in case.. Your sex plays a greater role in whether you'll commit a violent crime than whether you believe in God or not.

I have a brother in law. His view is you live, you die. The end. To me why not just get it over with. I mean why waste anymore time if you have zero hope of an afterlife.

This life is all we have - it can be utterly appalling for millions of people around the world - but in the end it's better (apart from extreme cases of suffering) than the alternative. |

Atheists are far more likely to commit crimes than devout Christians.
Source......basic common sense. That's absolutely rubbish, not to mention offensive and ignorant. You think that if someone has no religion they have no morals? |

Have you read a history book lately? Human behaviour throughout history - when 99% of people had a firm belief in God - was less moral and more violent that it is today. The Romans for example would often leave unwanted babies to starve to death through 'exposure', English Kings often lobed each others heads off in order to gain power or burned people alive for teaching a different religion to their own and we created black slavery in an era when the vast majority of people were so called Christians.
In the west today, life is safer, farer and more moral than it's ever been, which shows what a success modern secular countries are. Yes we still have problems with alcohol and crime amongst certain groups in society but that's always been the case. As a woman, my life is better than ever in modern secular Britain. Only extreme Islam compares to the bad behaviour of our Christian ancestors. |

US figures are interesting - a whopping 0.07% of the prison population are atheists but non-believers make up 85% of scientists (the filthy heathen scum).
