“Countries With High Levels Of Atheism Are Also The Most Charitable Both In Terms Of The Percentage Of Their Wealth They Devote To Social Welfare Programs And The Percentage They Give In Aid To The Developing World. The Dubious Link Between Christian Literalism And Christian Values Is Belied By Other Indices Of Social Equality. Consider The Ratio Of Salaries Paid To Top-tier CEOs And Those Paid To The Same Firms' Average Employees: In Britain It Is 24:1; In France, 15:1; In Sweden, 13:1; In The United States, Where 80 Percent Of The Population Expects To Be Called Before God On Judgment Day, It Is 475:1. Many A Camel, It Would Seem, Expects To Pass Easily Through The Eye Of A Needle.”
