Pleasant, atheist societies

An interesting exploration of why more atheist societies are more decent than religious ones, and why claims that religious people are “more pleasant” fall apart on closer examination.

Which ties rather in with a piece about the role of the Mormon church in the passing of the ban on same-sex marriage in California. Apparently the proposition was pushed through with support from “Catholics, evangelical Christians, conservative black and Latino pastors, and myriad smaller ethnic groups with strong religious ties”, as well as the Mormons – now that is what you call an unholy coalition.
