If you want to see the failure of God's, all you have to do is look at the Middle East. Every country in the Middle East, except the Kurds are controlled by theocracies or military dictatorships. And nowhere are the societies constructed and run according to modern knowledge and social science.

Tens of millions of refugees pouring out of the Middle East because of all the wars and killing and tragedy, poverty and disorganization greater than any other place on earth. That is what a theocracy gets you.

I'll tell you what atheism get you, it gets you the well run Nordic countries, Iceland and much of Europe, where most of the population are atheists, and places like South Korea, Taiwan and Japan where their religious beliefs are more spiritual and philosophical and so do not conflict with science or educational, or reason in any way shape or form.

Religion had 2,000 years to work at creating good societies and failed horribly.

The Kurds are the least religious and the most democratic modern and humane and have gender equality and the most educated.

How much clearer does it need to be?
