Maybe most of the people is simply disillusioned by religions, but not totally confident that there’s nothing at all.
In my case i’m more of a “hopefull” atheist. Considering the entropic and chaotic nature of the universe, the continuous predatory massacre that we call “life” and extreme difficulty to keep any state of equilibrium in this reality. I really don’t want to think of some sentient all-powerful being in charge of all this.
A 2017 study found that people believe atheists are more likely to be serial killers than believers, even though federal data suggests they are far less likely to commit crimes than religious people.
Hmm.
One group uses the threat of eternal damnation to compel moral behaviour, the other has no external compulsion*.
Which group is likely to have more “good” members?
* Yeah, laws? Social etiquette?

You were a christian scholar? Mind if I ask what sort of things you were interested in, when you were researching? I’m always curious about what the real intellectual types are pondering in their beliefs or church history.
