Although Mr. Christofferson at least addresses the question, I think he has the cause/effects somewhat skewed from the facts of those who are secular and what they actually report about their values and childhoods to surveys. (Basically, they're not on the whole much more miserable or elated than the rest of you folks, and come from all walks of life. Conversely, smug non-religious people can underestimate the well-being or service of the average religious person precisely because living that religion would have negative utility for such an individual.)
This quote about women and biology actually hits the nail on the head, for me, why I'm a secularist. It has nothing to do with the environment in which I was raised; I think it would be beneficial to realize that secular folks aren't, on the whole, information-poor citizens.In this day and age it’s come to be expected, and slowly accepted, that everyone has their own truths. But truth and fact are two separate things.
