Critical thinking has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of educated people who believe in religion. Plus we have evidence that p*rn reduces belief in God.

I'm not making this up, feel free to do your own research, we have evidence that p*rn (as well as other forms of hedonism) reduce belief in God.

Hedonism is absolutely a factor when it comes to atheism.

No, that's you wanting to believe it's not about critical thinking. You cover your eyes and ears to it just the existance of evolution and dinosaurs. This blanket statement that hedonism is the only reason for atheism is ridiculous. I can write down a list why I'm agnostics/athiest and it has nothing to do with hedonism. 

I bet you didn't even visit the links I mentioned. I have been researching hedonism for a long time now, and psychologists have absolutely identified many issues that it causes. For example, children who use iPads for several hours per day can have their brains re-wired due to screen usage making them prefer short-term dopamine boosts rather than long-term delayed gratitude. And of course, this type of hedonism can impact religious belief too since kids prefer to play on iPads rather than go to church etc.

The evidence is there, plain and easy to see. I am not making this up. If you disagree with me, you are disagreeing with the psychologists who performed the research. Believe them, not me.

Oh, and you can be a Christan and believe in evolution, so that argument goes away too. Yes I believe in dinosaurs if you were wondering that.
