I live in Australia, atheists here live hedonistic lifestyles full of alcohol, dr*gs, gambling, hookup culture, and other distasteful lifestyles

The only reason why atheists are "good people" is because they live in first world societies where they never experience poverty, starvation, extreme water shortages, etc. Its easy to be a "moral" person when you are living such a comfortable lifestyle isn't it? If you were born into a poverty-stricken third world society you wouldn't be the same as who you are now

I live in Australia too. I'm an atheist. Never gambled, never done drugs, rarely drink, in a long term committed relationship.

I know plenty of religious people who do; got an alcoholic uncle who is an outspoken Christian for example.

Generalizations and stereotypes are rarely helpful.

You are in a long-term committed relationship, but do you have an intention to marry and have children? Because hedonism discourages people from having traditional family structures (raising kids etc) because they focus more on their hobbies and personal interests. As for me, I am married and have three kids.
