I feel the original chart stroker found is one of those purposeful lies made in statistics, that writers use to get clicks. Outrage sells sadly, and these things are very purposeful- You're no fool for falling for it, we all do at some point.

What's the underlying concern here? Some implied trend of moral decay? If that's what you're worried about, go open literally any history textbook. You'll find that humans alive today are much less murdery and a lot more "moral" compared to any that came before. Especially Christians. Heck there used to be entire societies based around infanticide (Mayans, Spartans, etc). Now we have systems of government based on power derived from the common people, who have unlimited communication and are constantly debating how to improve our world. We're doing alright.
I find this statement shocking. There is plenty of infanticide today. Today's modern society loves infanticide just as much if not more, it's just more well hidden today. We aren't doing that great and you are giving government way too much trust.

I know how much you get off on pushing peoples' buttons, but how about we skip the thinly-veiled abortion references, huh?
I guess the month ended. Oh, well, can't win em all.

I'm just stating an obvious fact. You are the one that loves pushing peoples buttons. Check your avatar if you doubt this. Yes, your point of view and mine will never align, and I am okay with that.
I don't want to push anyones buttons, but I'm not going to lie or ignore blatant lies just to please others.

Infanticide occurs after birth and is quite different from abortion, so I'm not really sure what he is referring to. But that's typical...

The folks behind my avatar do exactly what you claim to do here: expose hypocrisy by identifying "blatant lies" and "stating obvious facts" that people "aren't ready to hear".
So if that makes me a button-pusher, what does that make you? Insert Peewee Herman reference here.

You'd like to justify it that way. Murder is murder. I don't really care when you do it or how. Your denial of that fact is even more typical. And you knew exactly what I was talking about, amazingly enough because you are actually trying to justify it. So open and honest?

The people you referenced have a religion just like you have a religion. Show me your tirades against Islam, Buddhism, Taoists, or any other organized religion. You are anti-Christian. That's your religion. That's another fact you aren't ready to admit too. The world isn't really that complex once you realize the true reality of human nature.

This isn't unique to Christians in any way. It's just that the majority of religious Americans are Christians and so Christians are who we atheist, agnostic, and secular Americans bump into regularly.
