Atheism seems to be more popular in the lower social classes, namely workers or poor people

thats strange. complete opposite everwhere else.

No What Augstine Baker said is true, you have been manipulated into believing this.

So lets see, of the people I have met in my life, about 99% of the lower classes have been atheists. Of the higher classes most of the people I have met have not been atheists.

Of my friends from the SSPX I can count a PhD in History, a PhD in Biology, at least 2 Lawyers, a Teacher and insurance broker.... just to list a few.

well as a lawyer i can corroborate your experience. many highly educated people are beleivers and many poor people are irreligious. atheism is too intellectual for the poor, so i would not describe them as being atheists.

however most religious people are poor. if religion was only attractive to upper classes catholcism would have died out long time ago.

however, i was not saying that augstine observations of the lower classes in russia aren't true. (i actually gave his post a thumbs up bevasue i found it intersting.) that may be the case, but if so, it is very odd compared to reast of the world.

Atheism is not intellectual, it is the anti-thesis of intellectual, it is scientifically impossible for their not to be a God. Read up on the Second Law of ThermoDynamics, the laws of Physics, the Laws of Information Exchange(Information can only come from an intelligent source) etc.

Atheism is a way for the devil to make stupid people believe it is ok to sin.

Not all well off people are intelligent, not all poor people are stupid. There are many geniuses who are poor and many stupid people who are well off with important jobs. Education also dosn't relate to Intelligence except in that it will take less time for an intelligent person to become educated in the same thing in the same circuмstances.

Remember, Communism, Socialism, nαzιsm all came from the lower classes.

Most athiests are poor or at least live poorly based on how they live etc. Catholics who are poor will live much much better in the long run then any atheists.

What's the point of striving for higher things in life when, according to the atheist mentality, life has no real meaning?

Daegus- good question, but to them it would fall on deaf ears! They'd surely have some ridiculous comeback, "Oh, life HAS meaning- we need to LOVE LOVE LOVE each other while we're still here. Religion destroys that"

BAH!
