I know more believers than non-believers and I can’t say there is any difference as far as being a good person.
My dad is a believer and was totally accepting of me not being.
Maybe I just hang out with better believers, also I’m not American, so I guess those studies don’t apply to me.

That may be true but I know who I would rather have as my phone a friend on who wants to be a millionaire. [/quote]
I sometimes think that not all who claim to be believers really are, like politicians and people who only attend church during special occasions. As an atheist I have difficulty believing believers really believe. If that makes sense. lol

I know what you’re saying, but no. I think most are believers, but I think they just don’t follow it.[/quote]
LOL
So basically you think most are believers (even atheists) and I think most are atheist (even believers)?

No, I think that there might be some believers who say they are atheist (not sure why), but I think most atheists are genuine. What I am saying is that most believers are actual believers they just don’t take their own medicine.

I thought maybe you were referring to that “no atheists in a foxhole” expression, or however it goes.
I was not raised in a religion so my exposure was limited, friends, summer camps, etc. I wonder if I was raised in a religion if I would still be an atheist. I think I would still be a skeptic but not sure I wouldn’t be a believer. Do you think you would be a believer if you were not raised with religion, that is provided you were raised with religion?
