The phantom of the opera

PRO'S for being an atheist.Atheist often have a better education (although this may very well be coincidal or be of other reasons)Atheist generally have a better abillity to reason as they tend to think logically while religious people (especially christians) tend to use closed circle logic.for an example i had a discussion with a friend about religion and she said that god must be real because the bible said so. i told her that there are hundreds, mabe thousand of other religious scripts that claim that their god/goddes/gods is the real one. when she heard this she said that they were all wrong and that the bible couldn't be wrong because god had written it and that god wouldn't lie about existing.Atheists are generally more understanding and diplomatic about other people and their religions or values.Atheists are less likely to commit crimes for some reason unknown to me (not including shoplifting and other less severe crimes as i haven't heard any information about those minor crimes)CON'S for being an atheistReligious people live about three years longer in general, this is believed to be because praying or meditating stimulates a part of the brain to produce hormones, it's noted that it doesn't matter what religion you pray to or meditate too.Atheists are more likely to be scared of death because they don't want to stop existing.Atheist have more of a feeling of helplessness as they believe there is no higher power to help them, only themselves, while religious people believe that they have their higher powers that may help them.
