"I've stopped being an alcoholic now that I've discovered atheism"

How often have you heard that?

In an interview with Zenit, Author Father Thomas Williams speaks about his new book that sets out to refute the recent books about supposed negative influences of religion, such as Dawkins' The God Delusion.

This from the interview when asked if religion had positive benefits. After explaining his personal knowledge of people turning from bad ways of life when finding religion,

"let’s turn the question around. How many people do you know that have overcome alcoholism or pornographic addictions, stopped cheating on their spouses, or become more concerned and dedicated parents because they discovered atheism? It simply doesn’t happen. Atheism offers no incentive to become better or less selfish."
