So, say I was to go back to Christianity. Which flavour should I pick? Because if there's only One True Way, I don't want the wrong one. I want the one that all Christians agree is the right one. Help me out here.

HereForTheBeer: Were those kids born with it, or was it learned / taught behavior?
Considering they're still babies, I would wager to guess it's not the latter.

I am not claiming there has been less crime because people are less religious, but if people would indeed lose their morality if they lose their religious beliefs, the world would become increasingly violent and criminal, not less.

Luck of the draw, who's to say judaism isn't correct or islam, or zeus or apollo?

Compared to the depth that others have gone to my views are quite simplistic. In my limited experiences, I find that people with religious beliefs are more content in their lives. Perhaps it's a sense of purpose, belonging or comfort associated with religions or it may be something deeper.

By the way, religious *beliefs* has offended people I've spoken to in the past. Therefore, I respect anyone who wishes to replace *beliefs* to *knowledge*

Wrong, I feel belonging, purpose and comfort 100% without religion.

Go to the source and play it safe with Zoroastrianism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all derive from it. And as Hollywood has taught us, the sequels are typically worse.

People are happier when they belong to a group. They are happier when strangers are "brothers and sisters".

I was joking before but decided to edit the post because I do not believe ignorance is bliss. I believe knowledge is power and one way you can reach happiness.

If it's belonging to a group. I'd still rather belong to the atheist group. Particularly those smarter than me so I can learn from them. Perhaps over quite a few beers.

I'm surprised there aren't any large Atheist groups out there other than the Church Of Satan because it seems there are more atheists than Christians.
