Average 5% of nuns have tried to deconvert someone.
Among the zealous atheists, it's a majority have tried to convert someone away from religion.
These are the people who are zealous.
I almost wanted to call them evangelical atheists at one point because they want to try to convince you they're wrong.
And by the way, of the four groups, the ones that are doing the most well on well-being scores are the duns.
And the ones who are doing the worst on it are the zealous atheists.
They're younger.
They're angrier.
It's so interesting because they're miserable, and they want to drag you into their misery as well by not believing in any of these things.
So there's really two sides of the coin to having really nothing to do with religion.
The done side is the most positive manifestation, which is I believe in nothing, and it bothers me not at all.
I was going to call them laissez-faire dones at one point.
It's like live and let live, man.
Live your life.
Do your thing.
Zealous atheists are the opposite of that.
You know, they are not live and let live.
It's like, no, religion's a poison.
It's a cancer.
It's child abuse.
