Atheists enjoy at least the same quality of life as Christians.

"I had a good time making fun of Atheists/Christians R1 I just forgot to make legitimate points too."lol I did that every time I end up in a serious debate the first few times I actually got in them. The reason I lost them so often is because I spent too much time f***ing around rather then give strong arguments, so I know what youre experiencing. Lets bring this to a close then shall we?====================================================================================="This is also what makes it difficult to say anything or determine how significant Atheist populations are in these areas. However, the figures we have indicate that there are very few Atheists in these countries"If there are indeed very few atheists in the Middle East, then the fact that they are so heavily outnumbered to both Christians and Muslims on top of still being persecuted for being Atheists still doesnt take away much of the plight they endure compared to the other option...... That there are a significant number of atheists who may rival the populations of religious believers, yet still end up being put to death or denied rights because of their religious affiliations. Either way, they still have it pretty sh*tty " I have been able to show that they (Atheists) are doing great in spite of discrimination and concede that we (atheists) are a small 7% minority here in the U.S. and tend to live in areas with minimal discrimination"But for every atheist that lives relatively free of discrimination in a more tolerant part of the US though there is also an atheist living somewhere in the Bible Belt or the deep south who if he/she were to come out to his family about being an atheist, he/she would probably be disowned by them, and the community, and be subjected to pure hell that you can only find in a religious crazy hell-hole like the South. "Religious indoctrination works so there just are not a lot of atheists in persecuted areas as I have shown."But religious indoctrination is used a hell fo a lot more on Atheists then on Christians in those parts of the world since even in countries where Christians are persecuted, they still mostly have the right and opportunity to label themselves as Christians, live as Christians, and still have certain rights whereas Atheists do NOT enjoy that luxury to the same extent that Christians in those areas since many of those nations make it flat out illegal to be an Atheist. "This means nearly half of the Christian population is centered in impoverished areas of the third world and a significant minority are subject to violent persecution in the Middle East"This is true, but that still doesnt negate the fact that the OTHER half of the Christian population are living in AND running the most powerful and well-off nations and economies in the world. "I agree that it’s intuitive to assume that strong discrimination does have an impact on life quality but my point stands that Atheists are still doing great in the U.S."They are doing pretty decent in the US compared to the Middle East, just not nearly as good as Christians are"In the Sudan 1.5 million Christians have been murdered since 1984"Well most of those were due to the outbreak and ills of the Sudan civil war, which just happened to last from 1983 to about 2005http://en.wikipedia.org...The war itself only caused 2 million deaths, but it triggered a famine and so much political instability and infighting that the country literally split in two about a year ago. So its not like Sudan has a policy of putting Christians to death, they just happened to be civilian casualties as a result of being plunged into of one of the worst Civil Wars in modern history."We (Atheists) are growing everywhere and as seen in Europe and other areas discrimination is greatly reduced when Atheists are a significant portion of the population. Many Atheists alive can look forward to a vindication of their view in their lifetime"Last time I checked, Atheists are still viewed as less trustworthy then Muslms and pedophiles in this country, the odds of Atheists having their views vindicated within their own lifetimes doesnt stand a snowball's chance in hell. Maybe one day it will happen, but in our lifetimes? I wouldnt bet on it. ===============================================================================================Heres the basic scoreboard for those of you who just kinda skimmed this debate and just want to see the final arguments. 1) Christians and Atheists both have it absolutely horrible in the Middle East. On a scale of 1 to 10 of being well off, both of them start at a -5, thats a negative 5, due to how wretched they have it. The fact that there are more Christians in the Middle East then Atheists being subjected to pure hell over there pushes their score down even lower to negative -8, whereas Atheists not even being able to call themselves Atheists and it being way more illegal to be an Atheist then to be a Christian maybe pushed them down to a negative 6Current Score:Christians = -8, Atheists = -62) Europe on the other hand is the exact opposite story. Both of them are doing fantastic over there, they are almost even equal in number in certain countries, literally nobody gives a sh** if youre a Christian or an Atheist, and being one instead of the other llterally has no effect on your rights or freedoms. Both score a +10 in EuropeThat puts the tally for Christians at +2, Atheists at +43) THEN we come to the United States..... Which really changes the score here. Christians basically own this country and have owned it for the past 250 years now. Atheists are banned from holding office in many states, Atheists dont have as many rights either, literally every president in US history has shat on Atheists as if they arent even real people, Atheists are despised in the US even more then Muslims, pedophiles, polygamists, and even scientologists, many of them cannot openly be an Atheist without being discriminated against while no Christian ever has to worry about that............ And on top of ALL of that, they also happened to be outnumber by Christians 10-1 in one of the most religious countries in the world: The United Stateshttp://www.outofur.com...The fact is that Atheists have it kinda iffy in the US. Certainly better then they would in the Middle East, but not nearly as good as they have it in Europe. Christians on the other hand have it so much more amazingly well off in the United States then Atheists since they dominate this country in population, and arent subjected to the kind of discrimination and deep distrust that Atheists are faced with. Atheists get a +4, which is just slightly above neutral, and Christians get a +10 since Christians in the US literally have it just about as good as Atheists in Europe. The only difference between Christians in Europe and Christians in the US is that Christians in Europe dont constitute a massive majority of the population like Christians in the US. Thats literally the only difference. That brings our final score roughly to:Christians: +12Atheists: +8 Feel free to tinker with how many points you would give to each side per region, but most of the time Christians will usually have a higher score then Atheists in terms of how well of they are in the end...... This is simply because both are treated almost equally sh*tty in the Middle East, and both have it equally great in Europe, yet Christians absolutely have it better off in the US compared to Atheists, and they do so by a wide amount, which means that Atheists overall in this world enjoy a slightly lesser quality of life then christians do
