  Psychopaths, atheists and agnostics

  by Fernando in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a naughty attention grabbing heading i admit - i'm sorry, just couldn't resist.

  obviously we all know atheists and agnostics have nothing in common with psychopaths.

  in fact i would hold that atheists and agnostics generally have better functioning consciences than religionists.

  This is old territory. Read:

  Wright, Robert. The Moral Animal

  Joyce, The Evolution of Morality

  de Waal, Primates and Philosophers: How Morality Evolved

  A trite, one sentence answer that doesn't begin to cover the tons of evidence and reasoning done on the subject is:

  We have morals and a conscience because it behooved our ancestors in the EEA to conform to various societal norms to increase survival rates, or in other words, it turns out that populations consisting of brains with a conscience are better at surviving.
