Journalists are more likely to be atheists, they're more likely to suffer PTSD, have alcohol and drug abuse problems, and they're more likely to avoid counseling.
But I am a realist, and I read/see everyday about the great tragedies in the world, which are too often ignored/under reported by the people in my profession, so consequently believing in Sky Wizards is implausible to me.
Id much rather have a better world today, than a better world afterwards.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The best way to know if the person is happy is to ask them. The person himself/herself knows the best weather or not he/she is happy. There is no other way to find out if the person is satisified with their lifes
| pearljammer said: The major problem with these studies is that they're often only done in the United States where the religious are a majority and the non-religious are a minority. This of course satifies another criteria for happiness. In fact, a study done in the Netherlands and Denmark, where the non-religious are the majority, resulted in much, much lower differences between the two. As the study concludes:
There are just so many variables involved here, namely geographical, that a blanket conclusion that 'religious people are more likely to be happy' is a gross oversimplification. A sense of community is what I would attribute as being the strongest factor for that argument. Of course, I'm talking purely out of my ass on that thought. |
Well, there are almost no countries in the world where the majority is non religious, the only ones coming to my mind are Czech Republic and Estonia, all other countries have a religious majority in the.n. If its gonna help, a similar research was done in my country and in Bosnia, and same results came up like in this OP. I have a link, only, you wouldnt be able to understand anything
Well im Athiest and very happy with my life and choices 
and loving the 'ignorance is bliss' comments
No wonder, Atheists know the cold, hard truth while believers live in a dream world. Of course you are happier there.

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.
i wonder if there is any connections to the studies that show that atheists and agnostics tend to be smarter and better educated.
