Potaknut reakcijama koje je izazvala njegova nova knjiga " Religija za ateiste " (Religion for Atheists), Alain de Botton je osmislio projekt 10 vrlina s ciljem da se u društvu potakne neophodna rasprava oko naravi morala te poveća javni interes u postizanju čestitosti i povezivanja u društvu.

' Father, the atheists? ' Even the atheists.

Želimo li uopće da se vlast bavi time? ' pita se glasnogovornik organizacije Minnesota Atheists August Berkshire

1. Thank you God, for atheists.

There have been countless theists, both those seeking to make converts of atheists and those preaching to the faithful, who have asserted that without belief in God there can be no basis for morality but the individual ' s arbitrary whim.

Atheists are human beings also, and we are no less moral simply because we ground our ethics in human nature and the happiness of others rather than unquestioning faith in a set of ancient writings.

Atheists are moral not because we are commanded to be, but because we want to be

8) Make up statistics.No problem, I ' ll just tell you the simple truths like there are virtually no atheists in prisons

In the U. S., atheists are young: fully 55 percent are under age 35, and only 30 percent are 50 and over, as opposed to 37 percent of all U. S. residents.

Interestingly, Agnostics are older than atheists, though still younger than the general population. [ 57 ] Comparing this 2001 data with the 1990 National Survey of Religious Identification (NSRI) provides clear evidence of a recent trend towards secularization among the younger American population

Most scientists (atheists) believe that our solar system evolved from the accretion of solid particles derived from a large nebular cloud... Da... ok.

This could be encouraging for religious pupils, but also disturbing for pupils who practised other religions or were atheists, particularly if they belonged to religious minorities.

They can also identify themselves as atheists.

And yes, in the US of A, atheists are persecuted: their president once said he wasn ' t sure atheists should even be allowed to be citizens, as the USA is " one nation under God "

Get over yourself, atheists are happy... but we are hopelessly outnumbered, hated and discriminated against... how the fck would you feel??

If you choose to delude yourself, go for it... but it would be nice if while you were doing so, you tried to act as if this was your only lifetime and tried to do it better, kinder, friendlier, greener... etc (like most of us atheists)

Its ok, we miserable atheists will be here to comfort you

Note that atheists, being a moderate proportion of the USA population (about 8 - 16 %) are disproportionately less in the prison populations (0.21 %)

Atheists tend to be more left-leaning, even accounting for age and income

My indisputable Biblical proof that atheists are deluded and stupid

Root, Professor of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, examined 1,916 prisoners and said, " Indifference to religion, due to thought, strengthens character, " adding that Unitarians, Agnostics, Atheists and Free-Thinkers were absent from penitentiaries, or nearly so

According to Nature 394:313, a recent survey of members of the National Academy of Sciences showed that 72 % are outright atheists, 21 % are agnostic and only 7 % admit to belief in a personal God

" I don ' t know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots.

Only a spiritually bankrupt society could ever believe it... Only atheists could accept this Satanic theory.

For nearly five decades one of Britain s most outspoken atheists, Antony Flew said that he was always taught to follow the evidence wherever it leads, and the case for a designer was too strong.

He told American Atheists that this made things easier, but most importantly it conveyed the fact that he really meant it.

However, many people and religious groups have the impression that atheists are immoral, unethical, and otherwise bad people.

To je kao da si mi dala link sa " Nova et Vetere ".: D Pogledaj na početnoj (http://www.billmuehlenberg.com) stranici, pa naslove kao: Theology (http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/category/theology/), Church (http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/category/the-church/)... ima čak i nešto za ateiste (http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2010/05/04/atheists-say-the-ugliest-things/).: cerek: Očito, nekakva kršćanska stranica, neznanstvena, neobjektivna, neinformativna.. ali pogledaj što izvještavaju svjetske informativne kuće, BBC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrgGTZJt5Ro), CNN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4mRNpi5ZkM) (pogledaj one suze od 0:24. na dalje?: mig:), ZDF (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHNUqgMoi3M) etc.

Even more surprisingly, there are many adepts claimed to be atheists, who believe that there are codes in the Bible, but they had been created by alien extraterrestrial superior race.

At times, this argument consists of laying the burden of proof on atheism, or in the case of agnostics and weak atheists, laying it on both strong atheism and theism.
