Lol, why on earth should i be pained or affected by experiments? Are the facts about Mao, Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler and you nairaland atheists not reasonable enough? Are they not a clear, sad historical pattern? Do you really need analysis and evidence for the terrible works of Mao, Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler? Are you actually this ignorant or feigning it for argument sake?
U obviously don't know the meaning of statistical analysis, and u will probably claim u finished secondary school...
Did u bother to check the meaning of anecdotes? Maybe u would have understood the point am making. Now Mao and Stalin were individuals, isolated, exceptional circumstances. The same way I can point to the Christians who engage in slave trade leading to the deaths of 60million Africans...
Lemme explain another way, maybe you'll get it. If I say Germans are averagely taller than Nigerians, it doesn't mean all Germans are taller than all Nigerians. There would be tall Nigerians and short Germans. But Germans would statistically be taller.
Now, it would be pure folly for anyone to say that because of individual or isolated cases of some Nigerians taller than some Germans, then it's not true that Germans are taller than Nigerian.
That's why statistical evidence is proof and anecdotes are not. So can u logically refute the experiment or do I need to explain again?

We know the reality of life. Atheists like Mao, Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler were given power, we know how nice they were. Atheists on this forum have said that human life and ant is the same to them. My friend, go and drink bobo or something.
Why is it paining u now? It's a scientific experiment. If u have a problem with it, u can either disprove the study, conduct your own study or go and beat up the people who conducted the study a la Jesus 30 BC.
The claim is that religious children are meaner, can u use logic or reason to disprove that?? Or u can only throw tantrums? grin You mentioning Mao, Stalin or any nairaland atheist is just anecdotes. The study shows a pattern supported by statistical analysis and evidence. U guys are disappointing...

Hey DoctorAlien, forgot to mention u earlier. So, what's your take on the study? Is it true or is there some reason why this study should be dismissed

We all know why u r atheist.
Stop all these unnecessary copying of google, wikipedia

You want to be free inside your mind to commit sin
But u keep fighting with the mind and Keep running back here, when your conscience is winning.
Nothing else.


Period.

Lolz... Seems this study really got to u. You want to fight back or disprove it but u don't have the intellectual wherewithal to do so... So u resort to telling yourself lies to ease the butthurt...
Anyways, whatever your reaction, it's expected. As different studies show, u are more likely to be mean than intelligent...
Cheers wink

That study is false.
Afheism kills the brain.
Thats why Zuckerberg had to come out and reject it fast.
Otherwise, facebook may have been affected.
grin
The wiser theists have seen this thread and have hidden their faces but u just love humiliating yourself.
So your study is true and mine is false, on what basis exactly? Your feelings? tongue ... If higher intelligence is the devastating effect atheism has on the brain, then god must have gotten something wrong.
So can u disprove the study which shows that religious children are meaner?

Lolz... U can't counter the thread, right? I get it. Anyways, statistics have shown that on an average, atheists are more intelligent than Christians..

So if the effect is more intelligence, can't complain.
. But let's not derail the thread okay?

I can back that study up with my experience with students. As far as I know, religious people are generally hypocrites and they tend to discriminate against others who don't go with their religion. Though there are a few exceptional religious people
I think it's one of the problems of religion. It creates a "I'm right, you're wrong" mentality.

Christianity EtcReligious Children Are Meaner Than Their Secular Counterparts, Study Finds by randomperson(op):
Children from religious families are less kind and more punitive than those from non-religious households, according to a new study.

Academics from seven universities across the world studied Christian, Muslim and non-religious children to test the relationship between religion and morality.

They found that religious belief is a negative influence on children’s altruism.

“Overall, our findings ... contradict the commonsense and popular assumption that children from religious households are more altruistic and kind towards others,” said the authors of The Negative Association Between Religiousness and Children’s Altruism Across the World, published this week in Current Biology.

“More generally, they call into question whether religion is vital for moral development, supporting the idea that secularisation of moral discourse will not reduce human kindness – in fact, it will do just the opposite.”

Almost 1,200 children, aged between five and 12, in the US, Canada, China, Jordan, Turkey and South Africa participated in the study. Almost 24% were Christian, 43% Muslim, and 27.6% non-religious. The numbers of Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, agnostic and other children were too small to be statistically valid.

They were asked to choose stickers and then told there were not enough to go round for all children in their school, to see if they would share. They were also shown film of children pushing and bumping one another to gauge their responses.

The findings “robustly demonstrate that children from households identifying as either of the two major world religions (Christianity and Islam) were less altruistic than children from non-religious households”.

Older children, usually those with a longer exposure to religion, “exhibit[ed] the greatest negative relations”.

The study also found that “religiosity affects children’s punitive tendencies”. Children from religious households “frequently appear to be more judgmental of others’ actions”, it said.

Muslim children judged “interpersonal harm as more mean” than children from Christian families, with non-religious children the least judgmental. Muslim children demanded harsher punishment than those from Christian or non-religious homes.

At the same time, the report said that religious parents were more likely than others to consider their children to be “more empathetic and more sensitive to the plight of others”.

The report pointed out that 5.8 billion humans, representing 84% of the worldwide population, identify as religious. “While it is generally accepted that religion contours people’s moral judgments and pro-social behaviour, the relation between religion and morality is a contentious one,” it said.

The report was “a welcome antidote to the presumption that religion is a prerequisite of morality”, said Keith Porteous Wood of the UK National Secular Society.

“It would be interesting to see further research in this area, but we hope this goes some way to undoing the idea that religious ethics are innately superior to the secular outlook. We suspect that people of all faiths and none share similar ethical principles in their day to day lives, albeit may express them differently depending on their worldview.”

According to the respected Pew Research Center, which examines attitudes toward and practices of faith, most people around the world think it is necessary to believe in God to be a moral person. In the US, 53% of adults think that faith in God is necessary to morality, a figure which rose to seven of 10 adults in the Middle East and three-quarters of adults in six African countries surveyed by Pew.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Does The Bible Allow Slave Owners To Beat Their Slaves? by randomperson: 6:46am On Jan 19, 2017
psalmsjob:
The Bible supports beating of your child talk less of a slave. Spare the rod and spoil the child it says.

The rod or beating is to correct a wrong doing or behavior in the child or slave that's why it was quickly added to it that the slave is his property.

Killing under any shade is what the Bible condemns.

The Bible is perfect but the minds and understanding of the reader is often times not perfect.

So it takes the help of the Spirit of God to see it's perfection and comprehend it's teaching. The human or canal approach to the Bible is to read it as a child would or as someone without prejudices against it or logic of the contemporary knowledge or way of thinking.
The bible allows you to beat your slave to death... As long as he doesn't die immediately. Stop lying for the bible. It's dishonest

Revelation1:
Are you a muslim? Only a muslim will say this, I guess Germany is also a muslim country? Having the largest economy in Europe you will also say that majority of them are dumping christianity for atheism.



As for Congo being the poorest country in Afrika, I bet in next 4 yrs coming Nigeria excluding Southern Nigeria will be poorer than Congo .

Mention ten rich muslim countries you know, I will mention mine too.
Am not a Muslim. In fact I used to be a devoted Christian but seriously Christian dominated countries are not doing better than their Muslim counterparts... Many of the developed countries are largely irreligious.
But the deeply religious ones that are rich are usually Muslim. In fact, the richest country is Qatar, a completely Muslim country.

felixomor:
Christian dominated is different from Christian country.

So is nigeria muslim country?
Going by your stats?
The point is there are poor Christians and a Christian dominated country proves that point...
And Muslims are not more than half of the population in Nigeria, so Nigeria is not even Muslim dominated... Congo however have 80% Christians, and are the poorest countries in the world
Christianity EtcRe: Christian's Are The Richest Men In The World by randomperson: 8:35pm On Jan 17, 2017
Revelation1:
Who said we don't have poor people in christianity? I never said that, of course there are poor people in every religion, race, country, when I said muslim dominated countries, I mean countries like Pakistan, Yemen, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Chad, Niger, Maldives, Afghanistan, Azbeijan, their list is countless, now compare those muslim countries I mentioned with christian dominated countries, Muslim countries are very poor because of these two things, High birth rate. Christians don't breed like rats. Another reason why muslim countries are extremely poor is rampant terrorism and lack of education.







Christian countries are leading in science and technology, sports, tourism. America, Leicheisten, Switzerland. The list is endless.
Muslim countries like Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait are crazy rich. Countries like Switzerland and other developed countries that u refer to as Christian countries are having a decline in their religious population... They are getting less religious... The most religious Christian countries are struggling while the ones rejecting Christianity are thriving...
Also countries like Egypt, Yemen and Lebanon are not as poor as Congo CAR, Malawi, Liberia... African countries are poorer than Arab countries

I laff in Swahili...
Oh... Christians make up the majority of the people there 80%... Christians are only 40% of Nigeria's population but I guess u don't know that...
Anyways, point is proven. There are many poor Christians all over the world especially in that part of the world where they really worship God a lot... God is a jerk, isn't he?

Losing most percentage of the 106 million adherents to deism isn't a big deal , but gaining 800 million is fantastic ! And since atheism has a low retention rate those lost to atheism will revert to Christianity cool
Hahahaha... Over a 100 million people formerly on the way to heaven now going to hell fire is not a big deal?? This your own style of Christianity is funny too grin ...
And where is the scientific evidence that they will revert to Christianity? Your feelings?
And please the 800 million u get is because u people give birth like chickens. That only adds to the theory that without indoctrination, Christianity is dead

So you are smarter than me because you are an atheist ?

Then what about atheists that went back to theism , their intelligence dropped immediately ? undecided undecided

Do you guys reason at all or you just regurgitate whatever you read in your dumb atheist sites ?
U are the one not reasoning at all... The claim is simple: atheists are on an average smarter than Christians, for whatever reason. The claim is not that atheism causes intelligence....
Try to argue against the actual points raised and don't look for other points to argue against when u don't have a rebuttal...
Atheists are on an average more intelligent than Christians. There's proof of that. Can u refute that point??
