Pew Research study on whether belief in God is necessary for good values...
I don't understand what the two have to do with each other.
I know the answer, but I guess I have to read the article to see what Pew Research says.

Well good. The aggregate is still on the side of sanity - by just a bit.
It is perhaps telling that this research appears to focus solely on the God of the Bible. Can I interest anybody in Guandi [britannica.com] ?
Bill Maher, after giving examples of the few people, such as Martin Luther King, that could have called themselves Christian, said, "Gandhi was so Christian he was Hindu."
Thanks for the post. It's good to have data that informs us about the world we live in.
No. We humans have a built in receptor called morality in our brian. Religions don't have a right to control morality as they want to. Look at Muslims, when the call sounds for their prayers during the course of the day, they have police order people into stores while people pray. Saw that in Saudi Arabia numerous times during the day.
Nonsense. A major part of people's trauma and behavioral deviancy come from being raised in a religious environment. Being compelled to believe obvious lies, and then tell lies about yourself to conform (and the list goes on....); that screws up people's heads in ways you can't imagine. Just look at how the Evangelicals support Trump as a block. It's a friggen mass lobotomy. And with all the stuff he's done, they're still with him. Case closed.
Yes, Kali and Mars seem to fit with the current situation in the US. Why do they keep doing the same study over and over? Why not spend their money on helping people? that would be almost...Christ like! Lols.
You get 4 score years and ten, lets use them to have same arguments again and again
