How ironic that our rampantly materialistic and selfish society, which is also overwhelmingly God-fearing, identifies the extreme minority of atheists as the cause of the rampant materialism and selfishness. I loathe materialism and greed. I hate how wasteful we are. I'm sickened by the rotund, ignorant, impatient, overentitled people I see all too often around me, packing their groceries into double-bagged plastic and piling into their monstrous gas-guzzling SUVs to roar down the road with the rest of the fleet back to their incredibly energy-inefficient suburban homes. I want to like people, and on my better days, I do like people, but our society itself ... no, I don't like it. It's greedy, and it's selfish, and it's incredibly overentitled. Of course, that must all be the fault of the tiny minority of atheists. It can't be the God-fearing overwhelming majority that's GREEDY. And SELFISH. And MATERIALISTIC.  Sorry. This just really hits a nerve with me, on more than one level. Aye. I so agree. What's disturbing to me is that the less educated a person is, the more likely they are to be religious. _____________________

I think that is stereotypically true, but what really is the case is that blind faith in things which don't correspond to modern understanding has trouble surviving the more someone is exposed to the real world.
I have regularly seen a pattern in which someone starts out life with a simple, indoctrinated faith, participates in secular education and employment to the point where they drop it, and later in life evolves a much more complex and reasoned spirituality. _____________________
