#332076 — OT: While we fight over if Muslims or Christians are more evil...

    Nonreligious children are more generous

    Religious doctrines typically urge the faithful to treat others
    with compassion and to put the greater good before selfish
    interests. But when it comes to generosity, nonreligious kids seem
    to be more giving, according to a new study of 1170 children from
    around the world. Children from religious homes--particularly
    Muslims--also showed a greater inclination to judge someone's
    misdeeds as wrong and punish the perpetrators. The study, the
    first large-scale analysis of its kind, suggests that religion and
    moral behavior don't necessarily go hand-in-hand for children.
    ...
    The children from nonreligious households left 4.1 stickers on
    average, a statistically significant difference from Christian
    children (3.3) and Muslim ones (3.2). Also, the more religious the
    household, based on a survey of parents, the less altruistic the
    child. The child¹s age, socioeconomic status, and country of
    origin also played a role, but not enough to override the effect
    of religious differences, according to the study. In older
    children, the split was most stark, with religious youth
    increasingly unlikely to share.
    -----
    
Believe whatever religion you want - but understand that your religion is no
better than the ones you work to attack as "bad". And even with this
finding, lacking faith does not guarantee moral behavior. There are good and
bad of every faith, and in those with no faith.

Another horseshit, non-scientific "study."

Percentages matter.  Muslims are hysterical, insane, violent subhumans
in far greater percentages than any other group.

You have this huge desire to prove others are worse than you and that your
religion is so great. It is really just a big pissing contest with you to
see if you can find another religion that is even more evil than yours. So
what? Both religions do good things and bad. Not a contest. Your little
pissing match as to how your religion is not quite as bad, in your mind, is
just sickness.

As I have shown you there are TRULY good religious people, Christians and
Jews and Muslims, all working together. Those that do so are working toward
peace ... not the hatred and war you are pushing. They are better than you.
They are not hateful bigots.

The study is not scientific.  That's obvious from the article.  If you
want to believe some bonehead interpretation of a non-scientific study,
have at it.

You disagree. I get that. OK.

Comes down to you disagree with the study, too. Actual evidence, though,
does not back what you claim. This is, of course, just one study... so why
not show others looking at similar things which back your view?

Comes down to your view is not easy to back when you look at actual
research.

Even Snit's study singles out Muslims.

Well if one takes the study at face value, it does single out Muslims 
as being particularly likely to punish those they deem wrong.

And Christians... and those who are not religious! The only thing noted to
be statistically significant is:
    -----
    The children from nonreligious households left 4.1 stickers on
    average, a statistically significant difference from Christian
    children (3.3) and Muslim ones (3.2). Also, the more religious the
    household, based on a survey of parents, the less altruistic the
    child. The child¹s age, socioeconomic status, and country of
    origin also played a role, but not enough to override the effect
    of religious differences, according to the study. In older
    children, the split was most stark, with religious youth
    increasingly unlikely to share.

But it does not say this is a statistically significant difference. If you
are very, very kind to me I will help you understand the meaning of the
phrase "statistically significant."  :)

It's only "significant" if you ignore how the statistics were obtained. Go read the 'study', you'll see it has issues.

Did you read the study? Actually... for you, did you understand it? Can you prove you understood it? You could, in part, if you answer this: Exactly how did they ascertain that those living in the non-religious dwellings are *completely* devoid of religious influence with respect to the headline's conclusion?

Do it right after you explain why anyone with a brain should give this 'study' any credence. Stats are meaningless if the way in which there were obtained undermines the conclusion drawn from them. Cap off those med bottles and see if you can make sense of that reality.

Well obviously he didn't. He said "at least what we have of it" and 
linked to the abstract when the full text is right there.

In the comments section, people are already pointing out several 
flaws. Everything from sample size, to graphs not matching data, 
to giving out stickers somehow being the measure of altruistic, to 
the title referring to "across the World" while somehow ignoring 
major religions and parts of the world. In short, this is right up 
Snit's alley as far as statistics are concerned.

I just took a quick look at the study, not the comments, but it wouldn't surprise me to see that people are rightfully questioning it. If Snit even understands what I wrote he'd have to agree that the methodology for ascertaining the degree of religious influence is based on a survey. That is problematic to say the least because it's based on not only what people may recall (or may not, because they are not aware of outside religious influences on their child) but if those surveyed are even telling the truth or are inaccurate in some other way(s). Obviously, any survey would be limited (to an unknown degree) in its scope with respect to the degree of accuracy required to have faith in the conclusion that was reached. IOW, this is based on something that was merely claimed to have been observed and recalled accurately. Put another way, by this same 'logic', Snit should be claiming that his quotes list indicates what people are saying about him is true based on the fact that they said it, yet, we know how he whines about his list. We all know the guy is a giant hypocrite so he'll obviously pretend this version of 'they said so' is "evidence", whereas,  those 'saying so' on his quotes list isn't.

Besides the problems you point out, there's no accounting for cultural 
differences. Assuming that the dictator game is a good measure of 
altruism (which is a stretch already), the researchers do nothing to 
separate out and single out religion as being the sole factor in 
how the kids behaved. A group of goodie goodie atheist Canadian kids, educated by Slimer to be generous, vegan, athletes, could skew the 
results. So are they more generous because they're non-religious? 
Or because they're Canadian? Or because they live in a school district 
that sends them to the school where Slimer teaches? They do nothing 
to separate religion out, and assume it must be because of that.

But if you want to say it's not flawed at all, then you have to admit 
that it finds that Muslims are more prone to punishing those they 
believe are wrong. So either way it was probably not the best 
"study" for Snit to post.

By the way, that was an obvious hypothetical involving Canadians. We 
all know they're dishonest moose fuckers.

I'd argue along with, not besides... as cultural differences definitely play a part in what I pointed out and it's really what I had in mind. For awhile, our youngest went to a daycare that was religious (we only chose it because it came highly recommended, was clean and close). He started bringing more of the 'religious culture' into our house, *way* more than we ever interjected, despite us both having grown up Christians (but we haven't practiced grade school). Realistically, unless it produced bad behavior, we have no idea what they told him that might have stuck.

They were looking for something they found, what a shock ;) 

They also don't account for the upbringing of the parents of these kids and whatever influences they had that got passed on. Think about it, to do so would be an *enormous* undertaking. This encompasses things those parents may *believe* they are no longer practicing, but they are, in fact, doing so subconsciously.

It's seriously flawed from a science perspective, to the point where I don't see how it can be claimed it's a scientific study.

Exactly.

LOL!

"particularly Muslims" is a phrase singling out Muslims. It 
is not used for Christians or atheists.

There is a full text tab.

Maybe you should have read the study before trying to claim what 
it says?

"Post hoc Bonferroni-corrected paired comparisons showed that children 
in Muslim households judged interpersonal harm as more mean than 
children from Christian (p < 0.005) and non-religious (p < 0.001) 
households"

"this was qualified by significantly harsher ratings of punishment 
by children from Muslim households than children from non-religious 
households (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences 
between children from Christian households and non-religious 
households."

So there you have it. The researchers have the data to show 
Muslims are more likely to punish those they deem wrong than 
Christians or the non-religious. I mean it was already quoted 
in the article you linked too, but I guess that wasn't good enough 
for you.

Whoops, guess you'll have to pretend you have me killfiled again! I 
look forward to you trying to argue that the stats the researchers 
somehow point out as being significant differences (with values) are 
not statistically significant.
