He's an atheist, what does that tell us

[imported_luckyme]

about his philosophy, morals or anything else about him?

A lot of B or non-B situations are uninformative. There are whites and non-whites, there are germans and non-germans, there are longsleeved shirts and other clothes. Other than the overall category we are referring to ( color, nationality, clothing) there is often not a lot of information in learning something is non-B.

I could be missing something ( hence this post) but I can't much I'd be 75% sure of if I'm told somebody is an atheist, including, perhaps especially, why they are an atheist.

Most may agree with the above ?? but I'd be interested in what people think are attributes you may more likely find in a random atheist than you would find in the general population.

Would you expect them to be more - rational, intelligent, self-centered, fair, concerned with equality, greedy, tolerant, libertarian, hedonistic, etc.

I doubt if most people know enough atheists well enough to have a solid feel for it ( most non-theists are agnostics) but even impressions would be interesting.

thanks, luckyme,
if I thought I was wrong, I'd change my mind
