Probably the we're "immoral" "unamerican" etc people have in their heads if we were to form one.

I find it amusing that some people use the word, "unamerican" as an insult, considering large corporations an the government decide what is "American" every day.

Yeah, as if they themselves personally get to choose whats american or not.

I mean, being an "American" nowadays is being sheep that does not think and does what is best for the large corporations and the government. The large corporations and government created our "American" culture. So if someone calls you "unamerican", it's a compliment.

What was the original post?

No one has it anymore, but it was very polite in contrast to Thorns posts.

For a good time, call Leucius.

Is religion really the only thing keeping you from robbing, raping and murdering others? So you kinda have that kind of urges inside you, but you deny your urges because you fear of divine retribution?

Even dogs show affection, empathy and try to help each others (or even people) out, without knowing anything about god or religion. Similarly, even though the bible probably doesn't forbid it, I just don't want to kill little kittens. Killing little kittens for fun might be ok in the eyes of different religions, but it isn't in my eyes.

Yep. :) It's no surprise that our freedom is slowly being taken away here because most Americans belong to a religion. A religion that makes people think, submitting on your knees to those who try to dominate you is a good thing.

This and +1

There are also a few countries in the world, with populations that are mostly atheist(Finland, Czech Republic, Norway) and those countries have very little rape, robbery and murder going on compared to countries with populations that are mostly religious.

Yet you'll hear apologists scream that an atheist society would become another stalin or pol pot. Then I like the reply with this.

Some people tolerate it better than other people do, but unless you spend a prolonged period of time away from dairy, it's hard to know to what extent it's affecting your health. Until I lived in a country where milk wasn't a staple, I had no idea how sick the stuff was making me. I can tolerate some, but I feel much better having cut back substantially.

It's no particular coincidence that humans are pretty much the only species that regularly ingests milk well into adulthood.

Children begin to learn pretty much right away. 15 months is well into the learning stage for behaviors. From the article itself: At the end of the article: Acquired, not inherent. If those observed people were previously influenced in some manner by religion (they say "values and beliefs"), it stands to reason that it would rub off on the babies as they grow. Obviously, the baby won't see it as religion - they'll just be imitating their primary influences. That trickles down through generations as we learn our behaviors from the generations who teach us, and it's likely some of that comes from religious influence along the way.
