You literally haven't even read the study or seen the data tables,
sure you're not the one pre-supposed to being biased here?

@Ian_Newton Friend I've been an Atheist for almost all my 67 years of life, a Psychologist for well over 25 years, a Child and Youth Counsellor for 25+ years, have 2 PhD's, 1 ThD and 5 Bachelors Degrees and working on my 6th and 7th now.
I also have 3 Certificates in Nursing, a current Certificate in First Aid and First Response Trauma response which puts me about 1-2 degrees BELOW the level of being a Paramedic.
Being biased against anything except religion/s IS my ONLY bias FYI.
And, may one asks WHAT tables, evidences, etc, were actual displayed/shown for anyone to actually peruse?

@Triphid Sigh I literally asked
"Anyone interested in receiving a copy?"
At the very beginning of the post.

If you had wanted to see the data tables, instead of deciding to issue a criticism
based on an abstract, you could have made a request.

@Ian_Newton Then , that being the case, WHY not simply supply for the onset?

@Triphid It's a PDF.
It's 34 pages long.
This is a forum site.

@Ian_Newton So WHY not merely extract the pertinent details, etc, and publish those instead?

@Triphid Sic 'em, Triphid!

Let's be real: It's not like atheists don't insult Theists like every day online.
Secondly, I never, ever claimed that all or even most atheists come from a broken
home or lost a parent.

"The death of one’s father or mother was found to most notably correlate with atheism in adults."
Is not the same as claiming 75% of atheists lost their fathers before identifying as an atheist.

@Ian_Newton FYI, WE give back just exactly what we and those before us have already received.

@Ian_Newton I merely pointed out something in your post. I didn't insult you.

I by no means deny the claim that both
atheists and non-atheists tended to group in environments
where divorce, abandonment or death of a parent
did not occur before they turned 18.

That's also not my claim.

@Ian_Newton Then, my Good Sir, since YOU have made the 'Claim' the onus of Proving said 'Claim' falls squarely upon YOUR shoulders and no-one else's.

@Triphid Bucko, this is ridiculous of you.
Of course the claim is based on data; the abstract was posted
not the paper.

@Ian_Newton Sir, Data can be either posted in a Biased manner or as Hypothetical manner FYI.
In my opinion, what you are attempting to 'claim' as being seeming Unbiased Data may quite well be seem as being merely Hypothetical in nature WITHOUT having provided any and ALL supportive Documentation as, imo, you have done re- your initial comment/s.
Legally and Legitimately speaking, Any Claim made without Supportive, Indisputable, irrefutable, tried, tested and verified EVIDENCE is MERELY a Unfounded Claim.

@Triphid Once again though:
It's an abstract. An abstract by its nature does not provide
detail of evidence.

And you made you're invalidations without having
seen the data tables themselves.

@Ian_Newton Then WHY have you NOT decided to provide such details/evidences in the first place then?

My grandad was an atheist but I don’t know anything about his upbringing.

Anyone who self-identified as an atheist at the time of the survey. (n=870)
Most were raised either Protestant or Catholic.

@Ian_Newton Well, imo, there stands for all to see quite plainly the biasedness of the Survey.

ha i see what you did there

Alright Sir NeverSure,

I will be in contact.
You too Bbyrd009, if desired.
And then after desiring you have to let me know
because I don't have an automatic desire detection device installed in...myself.

@Ian_Newton Jeez Louise, I hope you have your Flak-jacket, etc, on permanent standby then because you will be 'flying' into one hell of a Flak storm, mark my words on that.

ah well it does say that wisdom is hidden from the wise eh
not that i know anything, but i mean the owl, etc?
