Look, I don’t want to get competitive or anything - least of all in the field of  “dating”, which is a nasty American style of cattle-market rustling in which I have never indulged - but this story about atheists being more successful at on-line dating than people of faith tells me one thing: Atheists are sitting in front of screens in darkened rooms trying to find a mate, while Christians, Jews and Muslims are out meeting people in the flesh (as it were), talking to people, maybe chatting them up, going to parties, forming relationships, taking chances and, above all, having fun.

I don’t for a moment - oh no - suggest that atheists are a bunch of lonely saddos sitting in chat-rooms at their bedsits, while the faithful are out finding hot partners. But what’s cheerful and not a little ironic about this research is that Darwinism, a creed so enthusiastically co-opted by atheists, is telling us that atheists are likely to go extinct as a species. Unless, quite literally, they get a life
