"in the realm of forgiveness, which is a core value of many major religions, particularly Christianity, the difference - 32 percentage points - is stark."

Perhaps this is why democrats seem unable to be cured of their BDS.

The study says: "To the extent that Canadians are saying good-bye to God, we may find that we pay a significant social price."

[ I find it puzzling that few secular people think of this. Not enough thinking going on.]


That's where you keep getting it wrong. I am secular person who does believe in God or some higher power. I just can't stand the BS and hypocrisy put out my Man's religions. It is possible to be spiritual without belonging to an organized religion.

"the realm of forgiveness"

Yes, we've certainly seen the abundance of forgiveness from religious people. We're seeing it now in Gaza and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

We've seen it in Christianity from the Crusades to the Inquisition.

In today's world you'll probably find the most secular (atheistic) populations in Europe (especially the Nordic countries) and I defy anyone to find a more kind and forgiving people anywhere else.
