Study: Atheists more driven by compassion than highly religious people

Highly religious people are less motivated by compassion than atheists, agnostics and less religious people, according to a new study.
Research from University of California, Berkeley published in the most recent edition of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science found a stronger link between compassion and generosity among non-religious or less religious people.
Overall, we find that for less religious people, the strength of their emotional connection to another person is critical to whether they will help that person or not, UC Berkeley social psychologist and study co-author Robb Willer explained. The more religious, on the other hand, may ground their generosity less in emotion, and more in other factors such as doctrine, a communal identity, or reputational concerns.
NC man films himself firing shotgun at pro-LGBT rights sign
Video of a North Carolina man firing a shotgun at a sign against the states proposed amendment banning same sex marriage has gone viral, even after he removed it from YouTube.
Right now there is this amendment trying to be passed, Amendment One, and its going to state that marriage is between one man and one woman, which is how it ought to be, the man who identifies himself as Alex Wiles opines in the video.
So, somebody decided it would be a good idea to put this sign near my house, he continues as he puts on a pair of amber shooting glasses. They ought to know not to put stuff like that near my house.
With that, Wiles pumps a shell into what appears to be a 12-guage pump-action shotgun, takes aim and unloads two rounds into the yard sign.
Thats how we do it round here, he explains with a grin. Thats all folks.
