This is actually in my top 3 reasons why I consider christianity to be a dangerous idea.
@bot @feld
Please, be kind when responding. I will attempt to phrase my thoughts as well as I can, but I understand, that this is a sensitive topic.
Before we start, I am obviously an atheist. I believe, that the life I am living now is the only life I will ever experience. I also believe, that both suffering and prosperity of others is our collective responsibility as a civilization. No God will bring us Haven, but we can live a good life that we have.
So, the heaven/hell idea makes it, so people will not take this life seriously. Instead of working as hard as possible to improve this life, they have a much more important task of keeping the invisible morality points high enough to enjoy the real life, that will begin after their death.
Does this make sense?
For example, it’s now perfectly sane and reasonable for the media to sing the praises of a pedophile tranny and assist him in censoring a website that pointed out the fact that he openly grooms children and assists them in obtaining hormones behind their parents back. That’s the state of things in current year.

Of course I do understand the corelation that you've mentioned. I just don't believe, that there actually is a causation between atheism and complete degeneracy.
Of course, saying, that the most degenerate person I've seen was a christian won't be a persuasive argument to you, but I've seen many christiand, and I really don't see them being more moral then the atheists.
