Are religious people better than people who are not religious?

The bible says you’re not blessed more than others because you’re righteous, you’re blessed more than others because others are unrighteous. But not all non religious people are bad, some are bad and some are decent people.

[Agape93]

Not at all. Stephen fry is fully atheist and is a FAR better person than most religious people.

[RedThread]

Better in what way and why? In my experience, when determining whether or not someone is better at anything, it's based more on the individual than the collective.

[NamerOfStars]

Not inherently. If religion always made you a better person, it'd be a LOT more popular.

[BCRanger10]

Not necessarily. Religious faith requires virtue and humility. Those are things that must be consciously chosen and practiced. Some religious people practice them well, others do so very poorly, if at all.

Religious people are usually confused in that regard having been misled into believing such nonsense however as Chuck Palaniuk said, “You are not a unique and beautiful snowflake you are the same decaying organic matter as all the rest.”

Yes. Which is why they are the majority.

Shitty plants don't grow much, no matter their value or size.

If you use the royal society and the national academy as indications, no.
