Some 'free thinkers' consider those of faith mindless
people not strong enough to face life without the thought
that it continues after death. They call theism a belief
not substantiated by facts or science, but irrational.
It is interesting that many vivisectors (those who inflict
pain and death on kidnapped and caged laboratory animals)
are atheists. Those who believe 'you only go around once' are more
likely to be thieves and killers.
Studies indicate that those undergoing operations with several
people praying for them do better than those without.
There is a higher rate of suicide among atheists.
