- The likely atheists | Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi
A century of research has highlighted that atheists tend to be well-educated – and that top scientists are especially godlessThe question: What can science say about atheism?What can we say about individuals who are atheists or agnostics, those who do not share the common tendency to believe in the world of the spirits and in some spirits that are greater than others and control our destiny? A century of research can guide us.Those with no religious affiliation have been found to be younger, mostly male, with higher levels of education and income, more liberal, but also more unhappy and more alienatedfrom wider society. Such findings have been reported in the US, Australia, and Canada.Some atheists have been raised without any religious teaching; others have chosen to reject what they have been taught as children. Those who have come from religious homes and given up religion have had more distant relations with their parents, and a commitment to intellectualism.Irreligiosity is tied to greater political liberalism, and to being less prejudiced.Radical students who were members of the students' Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1964 (which started the 1960s upheavals on American campuses), were more likely to come from families that were identified as Jewish, agnostic, or atheist.The claim that atheists are somehow likely to be immoral or dishonest has long been debunked. Studies that looked at readiness to help or honesty showed atheists standing out, not the religious. When it comes to the more serious matter of violence and crime, ever since the field of criminology got started, and data collected of the religious affiliation of criminal offenders, the fact that the unaffiliated and the non-religious had the lowest crime rates has bee 科学は無神論について何を言うことができる私たちは無神論者や不可知論者かについて個人が言うことができる、これらの者の共通を共有していない内容：？との一流の科学者は、特にgodlessThe質問されていること - 研究の世紀は無神論者は高学歴する傾向があることがハイライト表示さ。。u200b。。u200bれている傾向が霊の世界では、他よりも大きいと私たちの運命を制御するいくつかの霊を信じるか？研究の世紀は無宗教とus.Thoseをガイドすることができます、教育、所得、より自由な、より高いレベルで、ほとんどが男性より若いことが判明しているが、より不幸な、よりalienatedfrom広く社会を

- Huang Hua obituary
An eminent diplomat, he re-established China's links to the USFor more than half a century, the diplomat and statesman Huang Hua, who has died aged 97, played a pivotal role in communist China's relations with the international community. In the early 1970s he was key in facilitating the rapprochement between the People's Republic of China and the US, reopening relations after their effective termination in 1949.In 1971 Huang was sent to meet Henry Kissinger, the US secretary of state, who had been mandated by President Richard Nixon to take the lead on these exploratory talks. Transcripts released by the US several decades later showed Huang to be an effective, sharp operator, more than able to hold his own with the clever and devious Kissinger. By late 1971, a deal for the re-establishment of relations had been struck, leading to Nixon's groundbreaking visit to Beijing in 1972.Huang's reward for this work was to be appointed the first People's Republic of China representative to the UN when the country took up its seat there, supplanting the Republic of China on Taiwan. In 1976 Huang returned to Beijing, where he was made foreign minister. He was able to survive the upheavals associated with the purge of the Gang of Four leaders, being trusted enough by the newly emergent Deng Xiaoping not only to remain as foreign minister, but also to serve concurrently as a state councillor and vice-premier until the mid-1980s, when he retired from all of these positions.The son of a teacher, Huang was born Wang Rumei, just after the fall of the Qing dynasty, in the province of Hebei, which surrounds Beijing. He studied at Yanjing University in Beijing, and joined the Communist party in 1936, just before the war with Japan, which was to devastate the countr 著名な外交官は、彼が97歳で死亡したUSFor半世紀以上、外交官や政治家黄華、再確立された中国のリンクは、国際社会と共産主義の中国との関係において重要な役割を果たしている
