Atheist mass shooters

Atheist shooter Devin Patrick Kelley

The atheist PZ Myers, quoting fellow leftist Alex Nichols, said that jibes associating outspoken atheists with neckbeards (among other things) caused many liberals/leftists to leave the atheist tent and those who remained for the most part lacked in social skills and self-awareness.

The FBI has some done preliminary research on the psychology of mass shooters: FBI on psychology of mass shooters.

There have been a significant amount of atheists who have been mass shooters (see: List of atheist shooters and serial killers).

John Stott in his 2018 Daily Caller article entitled What Is The Religion Of Mass Public Shooters? wrote:

“

Just 16 percent have any type of religious affiliation at the time of their attacks, with a slight majority of those being Muslims. Over just over 20 years from the beginning of January 1998 through today, there have been 69 killers committing 66 mass public shootings in the United States where at least four people have been killed. Of those attacks, just four have been identified as Christians, with just three clearly regular churchgoers. With 70 percent of Americans identifying themselves as Christians and over 33 percent going to church at least once a week, those numbers are a long way away from the 48 or 23 we would respectively expect.
