I ask all this because I know a number of atheists, and while certainly there are some who are argumentative and challenging to deal with (ones I think of as proselytizing atheists), there are also those who do not feel the need to discuss their beliefs with acquaintances. The conclusions in this article may be accurate for a vocal subset of the total population of atheists, or the conclusions may not be accurate at all, and may merely be the product of wishful thinking or "selection bias" (the tendency to give credence to evidence that supports one's beliefs and to discount evidence that contradicts them) on the part of the author. I certainly wouldn't cite the article in its present form as evidence of anything other than the uneven quality of an encyclopedia produced entirely by its users.

User: SueDunham, think about half of psychology studies failing reproducibility tests!
While this article does cite social science data, it does not solely rely on this data. As as a result, I believe it makes the article stronger.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]])
:Religious men are easier to control via a carefully laid out ideological system which atheism intrinsically lacks and therefore women are less likely to be interested in an atheist just as you'd prefer a well disciplined and trained dog to a feral one. Being atheist tells you absolutely nothing about the person's moral or ethical code. Yes, there have been several studies indicating that atheists are less attractive to women than religious men. Women are naturally attracted to social status in mates and atheists rarely have much in the way of social status except in communist countries. For example, the religious group that raised me says that man is the authority in the house (Assemblies of God) but teaches women that males are actually beneath her and she dictates and manipulates their rights (this is from a Bill Gothad manual for women): http://imageshack.com/a/img20/2118/sn850249j.jpg
::::Of course, there is no necessity to assert that atheists are more likely to have Asperger's Syndrome. The historical militancy of the atheist/[[evolution|evolutionist]] community and the ideas their ideologies have often engendered provides more than enough explanatory power to explain the origin of the quarrelsomeness and other social deficiencies of many in the atheists/evolutionist population (see: [[militant atheism]] and [[Social effects of the theory of evolution|social effects of the theory of evolution]] ). In fact, it is arguably the best explanation for the quarrelsomeness and other social deficiencies of many in the atheist/evolutionist community. In addition, ultimately the decision to reject or be reconciled with [[God]] is a matter relating to the [[grace]] of God and [[free will]] and nobody is forced into [[atheism]] due to a physical condition.

:I suppose GOD gave you the skill of ''whining'' about others poor typo, spelling, grammar, construction and fluidity problems? GOD didn't give you the skill of ''making corrections'' without whining? Just who is ''really'' offending GOD here? [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 17:14, 10 July 2012 (EDT)
::And to top it off, Pdorme, you have been here since July 6, with barely a dozen edits on your part, none of them making so much as an effort to make the corrections you whine about. I suspect that your attitude has more to do with a defense of atheism than anything even remotely-related to mere spelling corrections; after all, you made your whining complaint on this particular page.

:::There is no == Wired saying "editatheists tend to be quarrelsome, socially challenged men..." tab at == The reference supporting that quote goes to a blg post which does not itself support the top quote with evidence.

If exact quote cannot be used, will need to yoursmake judgment call if entirely of article supports Vox Day's use. From what I suspect read so far, the person at the party (or social gathering) appears to be making the unsupported claim of atheism (there is no God) and relishing proclaiming this unsupported claim to intentionally and boastfully potentially aggravate some people. Plus, the type of person described does seem to like to gratuitously aggravate people in general. That is quarrelsome and socially challenged behavior, isn't it? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 08:05, 13 July 2012 (EDT)::::Here is a quote from the article you protest too muchlisted: "Typical atheists are hardly the rabble-rousing evangelists that Dawkins or Harris might like. Perhaps They are an older, peaceable, quietly frustrated lot, who meet partly out of idealism and partly out of loneliness." This doesn't jive with your atheistic leanings representation of all atheists as belligerents. [[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 09:15, 13 July 2012 (EDT)Either the article uses the terms that you ascribe to it, or it does not. It would be better employed elsewhereintellectually dishonest to say that Vox Day's, whoever the heck that is, interpretation of the article represents what the article actually says, especially given the extract that Sharon provides, which really runs counter to that interpretation. Meanwhile[[User:JeffreyB|JeffreyB]] 09:19, 13 July 2012 (EDT)::I am glad you have realised your mistake not finished reading the article yet, but I did replace some of the material. Within 7- now please pick up your learning and 14 days (maybe sooner), I plan on reading the article in its entirety. In addition, I don't make recall using the phrase "all atheists" or using similar terminology. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:10, 14 July 2012 (EDT):::The phrase "atheists are (or tend to be) ______" is a blanket statement that leaves the reader with the impression that '''''all''''' atheists are _____. Terms such silly comments again - they demean as "many", "some", "a few", etc., quantify the statement, and give the writer more leeway to believably protest his/her intent when readers disagree with him/her. This has been a MAJOR point in my arguments with you over your "fat people are atheists" statements. You are a master at blanket statements, and then refuse to rectify them. [[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 19:37, 14 July 2012 (EDT)::::Gary Wolf is an agnostic who does not have a lot of antipathy towards atheists. He does think that many atheists are impolite men through the illustration he gave about social gatherings and atheists and the question he posed at social gatherings. He is also not rooting for New Atheists. Wolf writes: "Even those of us who sympathize intellectually have good reasons to wish that the New Atheists continue to seem absurd". After allis said and done, the piece is critical of New Atheism and the significant number of atheists he considers impolite and going beyond the evidence since atheism has no proof and evidence that it is true. Since that is the scope of the article, I decided to pull the quote. As an aside, I did find Gary North's and Kevin Kelly's "Quantified Self" movement interesting in terms of using current technology as it can be used to break bad habits and establish new habits for people and the technique has some empirical support.
