    Religion is designed to make people docile and compliant. It suits the religious authorities. 'Heretic' means 'chooser'. 'Non heretic' means doing what you are told, blinly, without choice. No need for me to tell you what I prefer to be.

    Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception

      I don't think the study is talking about Muslims. If you read the description of the religion they studied, it seems to be Christianity and the antithesis of Islam.

          You don't need religion to achieve that.

          Modern liberalism has never achieved anything other than giving Secularists something to feel morally superior about

                That's why tobacco is legal then, to counteract the stone with a nervous nicotine craving. Things is falling into place.

                        OMG!!!!1111 Seriously. From an extremist fundamentalist Islamic perspective, could you explain the virtues of walking onto a bus filled with women and children and blowing yourself up? Also, explain how it's "brave" and not selfish to do that when you firmly believe that you will be "rewarded" with paradise? Why would killing swaths of innocent people for you own personal gain be considered positive?

                            Blowing up yourself in a public place dragging innocent bystanders with you in death, on the mere promise of heaven and virgins is certainly not a sign of intelligence.

                              John Bartkowski, a Mississippi State University sociologist and his colleagues asked the parents and teachers of more than 16,000 kids, most of them first-graders, to rate how much self control they believed the kids had, how often they exhibited poor or unhappy behavior and how well they respected and worked with their peers.

                              No blinding, subjective measures, testing the parents'/teachers' opinions of the children rather that the children themselves ... nope, no problems with that study.:laugh:

                                So in your opinion, are atheists, agnostics, and other unreligious people capable of raising happy, moral children?

                                        You don't need religion to achieve that.
