I've noticed that almost all the atheists I've come across are kinder, more generous, and generally more morally sound than most christians and muslims. Atheists seem to be more open-minded and less judgemental. They seem to be more at peace with themselves and have better self-awareness.
I've also noticed that, generally speaking, the more religiously devout a person is, the less tolerant they are, and the more suspicious they seem to be of people who don't practice the same religion as them.
Why is this so?

There's no gain for being atheist, but there's so much again and peace of mind for believing in Jesus Christ, the son of God.

ATHEISM is surviving alongside RELIGION due to the long history of false religions so atheists feel better without religion but in reality atheists are completely empty when it comes to wisdom.

HOW?

Each atheist will love to have a family of his or her own and probably children in their marriage, these children will need training on how to develop their mental balance and that largely depends on what parents teach them about life.
Questions like:

How did we get here?
What are we doing here?
Where do we go from here?
What is happening to our dead loved ones?
Why so much injustice and suffering?

No mortal man can answer these questions and these are the things locked up in the minds of children as they continue to grow which determines the type of person they will later become.

So if you can't find satisfying answers to these questions how do you convince a child that morality has benefits?

In your write up you didn't define who atheists and theists are

Well, I assumed everyone knows this. A theist believes in the existence (and usually benevolence) of a god. An atheist doesn't.

Me I dey at peace with myself as an atheist,I don't need any god to be morally sound.
The reason religious people are always acting kind is because their god say they should,I take full responsibility for anything that happens not blaming the devil or hoping on one god.

If things go right then good,if it goes wrong then we keep moving.
We were all born irreligious but due to childhood indoctrination everyone feels their religion is the true one.

You only feel so because you try to compare yourself with religious people and seeing that you're somehow better of than some of them you choose to be irreligious.

MaxInDHouse you have gone off-tangent a bit, but it's okay. First, why do you assume that 'each atheist will love to have a family of his or her own and probably children in their marriage'? This is simply not true. Some atheists, just like some christians or some muslims or some jews don't want to get married or have kids. In fact, among atheists there's a higher proportion of antinatalists.
Secondly, 'no mortal man can answer these questions'? Really? Atheists generally approach questions based on reason and available evidence. How did we get here? Big bang? Evolution? What are we doing here? I don't know. Right now, I'm typing. Where do we go from here? Well personally, I'm thinking of the mall. What is happening to our loved ones? They're decomposing, like every other dead animal. Why so much injustice and suffering? Well, why so much joy and fulfilment?
Now let's assume we don't have the answers to these questions. What does it matter? What does it prove other than that humans face existential questions?

My point exactly. Atheists' sense of morality is stronger as they're accountable to themselves rather than some arbitrary god. More grease to your elbow

There are religious people that are morally upright too,and there are also atheists who are woefully corrupt. Being morally upright is not a function of whether you are religious or not

I agree with you. It's why I use qualifiers like 'generally' cause there's a clear pattern when you look at anecdotal evidence

Mufakirnaqdiun:

Surely none of us need any God if we can exist without having to deal with other humans as in intelligent beings like ourselves but if we have to coexist with our kind then we need a SUPREME BEING: GOD!

We are intelligent beings that must coexist with our kind so in the absence of knowledge about these things asked we will continue to make this planet a hell for ourselves!

I doubt that it is 'the absence of knowledge' that makes this planet a hell. Some of the most prosperous nations on earth have a high proportion of atheists who don't know and don't claim to know. Personally, I'll rather accept that I don't know than fill in the gaps with fanciful fairytales. IT'S OKAY TO NOT KNOW

It's ridiculous for an atheist talking about morality. It's like a Lion, snake or shark talking about morality.

But its okay for theists to talk about morality after killing people that don’t worship their deities?

MasterJayJay:
It's ridiculous for an talking about morality. It's like a Lion, snake or shark talking about morality.

It's ridiculous for a Christian to talk about morality when their God is a mass murderer,he murdered his whole creation,he starves his creation to death,he watch little kids being molested,he can't stop natural disasters,and you open your mouth to foolishly talk about morality?lol

MORALITY IS NOT TIED TO RELIGION! Why is this so difficult to understand?

The main issue is that people are not willing to face facts and be objective. Dem just wan 'win' argument. Na wa o

Anything goes in the animal kingdom. Some female animal kill the male partners after mating. And that is seen as normal.

And who according to you created that order?

You are looking at them with your human eyes and judging them with your human understanding and in doing that you are discounting their own sort of intelligence and societal arrangements. Granted they are way below us in terms of sophistication but you cannot say because lions don't have police and courts they don't have internally consistent methods of figuring out what is good or bad for themselves.

Survival of the fittest is what rules in the animal kingdom. Nothing like good or bad.
