| | + | |
| | + | As far as the progressive values of caring/protection, the atheist/evolutionist community gives less to charity per capita than Christians even when church giving is not counted (see: [[Atheism and charity|Atheism and uncharitableness]]). |
| | + | |
| | + | In addition, the historical record shows that atheists have often been uncaring and atheists have engaged in barbarous/uncivilized behavior (see: [[Atheism and Mass Murder|Atheism and mass murder]] and [[Mass rape of German women by the Soviet army]] and [[Atheism and cannibalism]] and [[Atheism and bestiality]]). |

| | + | |
| | + | As far as honesty, atheists have a poor record in this area as well (see: [[Atheism and deception]]). |
