SURPRISE! CHILDREN OF RELIGIOUS FAMILIES ARE MEANER THAN THOSE FROM SECULAR FAMILIES

Why is this no surprise?

Well, who is the head of The Church of England?

LIZ!!

Now you can't get a more 'religious' family than our beloved monarchy, can you? I mean, what does Prince Charles do whenever he goes to Saudi Arabia? He prances around with all those princes wielding a sword (that may have actually been used to chop some poor soul's head off). Christian and Muslim, raving together. Oh what bliss!

So the British monarchy runs the Church of England, and they engineered World War 1 to create a world government that they would control, but because the USA voted to stay out of the League of Nations the British monarchy, through their Hofjuden, engineered World War 2, resulting in a world government, The United Nations, which is using the catch-all 'climate change' as a pretext to assume all national sovereignty.

And Saudi Arabia, which was created by the British to help them to control the Middle East, is one of the most barbaric, brutal abusers of human rights, has sponsored all the butchery in Syria, and also runs the Wahhabi sect and hosts the Hajj in Mecca.

So there was no need for this study. It's bleedin' obvious: if you run a religion then you are more likely to be a brutal warmonger.

Children from religious families are less kind and more punitive than those from non-religious households, according to a new study.

Academics from seven universities across the world studied Christian, Muslim and non-religious children to test the relationship between religion and morality.

They found that religious belief is a negative influence on children’s altruism.

“Overall, our findings ... contradict the commonsense and popular assumption that children from religious households are more altruistic and kind towards others,” said the authors of The Negative Association Between Religiousness and Children’s Altruism Across the World, published this week in Current Biology.

“More generally, they call into question whether religion is vital for moral development, supporting the idea that secularisation of moral discourse will not reduce human kindness – in fact, it will do just the opposite.”
