Robert Martin talking about the motivation of Atheists is like a prostitute talking about the motivations of a Nun.

Robert, what a load of rubbish!

As an atheist with children, I for one am deeply concerned with the type of planet that we will leave for our children. I cannot answer for the majority of atheists, as we do not normally gather together in any great numbers to discuss these matters, but a belief that this world is all we have, and are ever likely to have, is a very strong reason to look after it.

Statistically, it is known that the great majority of mayhem in the world is carried out with religious belief a major factor. For example, the bible belt of the United States has far more crime per capita than the more secular north, or compare Scandinavia with the Middle East.

Even if your thesis were true, provably true, that Atheists were all uncaring about the planet's future, how could that lead us to a belief in fairy tales? You don't necessarily have to be of low IQ to believe this garbage, but it must help!
