The [[Saint Paul|Apostle Paul]] taught about love in a letter to the Corinthian Church:

The [[Saint Paul|Apostle Paul]] taught about love in a letter to the Corinthian Church:

{{cquote|Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8<ref>1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 NASB version</ref>}}

As noted above, the Apostle Paul taught that arrogance and easily provoked anger are antithetical to love. The atheist population has a significant problem with pride, anger and quarrelsomeness (see: [[Atheism and arrogance]] and [[Atheism and anger]] and [[Atheism and social/interpersonal intelligence|Atheism and social intelligence]] and [[Atheist factions]]).
