Is atheism America’s fastest growing religion?

And if so, does it have something to do with the decline in moral behavior and educational standards in public schools all over the US?

Absolutely….Statistics have shown the rejection of God in public schools (especially after 1960) has been shown to have a drastic increase in crime and failure in public schools throughout the nation..

An athiest does not follow a religion. An athiest is just that “a” or without “theist”.

You need to do more research. Athiests come in all shapes and sizes and beliefs about life and morals AS do all religious people as well.

If anything the forcing of religion on to others causes more of a decline in behaviour and education than NOT believing there’s an all-seeing, all knowing being.

You will probably give me a “thumbs down” but remember that I – like so many others – have or will answer your question logically and respectfully.

There are some questions you may want to ask yourself.

Why do I follow the religion I follow?

Where did I learn it?

Why is it “right” and others are “wrong”?

These are legitimate questions and those with higher intelligence would ask them before blindly following a system or belief.

There isn’t any logic to the notion that because someone does not believe in God, that would have something to do with the decline in moral behaviour – or any sort of behaviour.

What was the last count of priests sexually abusing children?

Moral decline, indeed.

Yeah I think this has to do with lack of knowledge/education. They don’t believe in anything they can’t see or touch but they use electricity. i am not for the religious nuts either. God is some thing you don’t understand.

“God”! – I hope not!! I do agree that there is moral decline in our country today- & that does not help anyone’s faith.

I certainly hope not. And you don’t have to be an atheist to be immoral and ignorant….but it helps.
