If anything, Atheists are more 'moral' than the rest of society as we have the lowest crime rates of all 'religious' groups, though that probably has more to do with atheists tending to be more educated and wealthy, which are better predictions of likelihood to commit crime.

be fruitful and multiply(quote from the bible), so sex before marriage is not a sin.

Epic Fail, I know enough about history to know thats shit, just because the powers that be dont let people associate anything bad with religion, doesnt mean that the enlightened among us cant see the truth

you clearly know FUCK ALL about communism aswel, true communism is both INTERNATIONAL and PEACEFUL, hardly surprising that yanks cant comprehend that though...

also, communism is secular not atheistic, there is a difference, again, this is no doubt beyond your understanding

the fact they were atheists had little or nothing to do with why they killed...whereas the churches that slaughtered millions, used there religion as a reason and a cause of that violence...

if there were good moral examples of atheists to hold up then people wouldnt assume they are amoral.

the fact they comitted a crime and they are in prison

You couldn't of missed the point any harder if you tried.

Likely because your in "angry self defense mode" rather then "lets look at the numbers and causes" mode.

I'll try and explain again, though it'll be hard to do in a different way.  Please try and look at it from an objective viewpoint and don't assume anything.

1) On average (note: average)  religious people are more likely to give money, blood and effort to both secular and nonsecular charities.  If you are currently religious, there is a much higher chance you are going to donate to charity and give blood/donate time.

2) We need to find a reason for why this would be true.  My hypothesis is that the church works as a large community that peer pressures people into doing the right thing.

Lots of people go to churches who may have moderate to no interest in helping people.

Almost no one is going to join amnesty international unless they REALLY want to give to charity.  Also, you don't have to be catholic to donate time or money to a catholic charity.

As a LOT of charity people will tell you, there is a LOT of untapped money and potential of people who want to be charitable... the only trick is, you need to find ways to coax it out of people.

So what atheism should do if it grows, is find a way to create a "Church like" community like churches, that draw in everybody and then individually asks for help and support.

The point is, getting people to go to a charity event... who wouldn't normally go to a charity event... it's pretty much the biggest dilema charities have had since... well existance.

Religion is much better at in general "reigning in morality" just based on the fact that it's a meeting of the community.

I think it's likely that rather then the particular religion, since religion doesn't seem to matter.  All that does matters is that you practice it.  Statistically that is.
