I'd say that nonbelievers fare worse, not because of their lack of belief but due to the simple fact that atheist as a whole are close minded and do not believe in placing faith in anything. How can one be a successful trader when a huge amount of FAITH in yourself is a basic requirement ?

What an absolute and utter pile of horseshit. A typical LoZZZer piece of vomitus masquerading as logic.
'True non-believers'? What the fuck does that mean? A fairly-tale-believing faithmonger (like the asshat ZZZzzzzzzz, who has converted back and forth between the world's major religions at least 3 times by his own admission, betraying the same confusion as his posts here) says that he wants every child to have to utter the Lord's Prayer before school and he wants women to be denied control over their own bodies and he wants vital scientific research suspended because of his fairly tale belief system and he wants children taught that science is worthless and he wants publicly available benefits to be denied to people whose sexual preferences he doesn't like. The majority step up and say 'What in the hell do you mean? On what grounds should we institute these policies? On the grounds of your personal fairly tale'?
And the idiotic alcoholic Troll tells us that this is a political statement.
If someone tells me that he believes the moon is made of Green Cheese, and I say I don't believe it, am I a TRUE NON-BELIEVER??? By saying that I don't think we should sacrifice milk every month to placate the Green Cheesian Gods, I'm making a political statement???
Fucking stupid twit. Try another rum and coke.
Having faith in myself is not quite as challenging as having faith in a god. I exist.
I suppose it is too much to ask that we be governed, at least in principal, on the basis or reason rather than an set of fanciful notions.
That's two assumptions right there. Why stop now?
Is it too much to ask that we be self governed by the principle of the golden rule?
If so, then it would be unreasonable for atheists or theists to attack others for their personal inner belief systems, ridicule the personal inner belief systems of others, or try to form governments or other political forces to take actions against those people with inner personal beliefs or congregations of people with shared inner beliefs which run counter to their own.
What you deem as a fanciful notion is your personal belief system, which is fine to have an to hold, but unless you want conflict there is no valid reason to attack others for simply holding beliefs different than your own.
Again the making the distinction between a personal belief and political actions is the reasonable position to take, assuming that one is genuinely interested in exercising reasoned thinking and then taking reasonable actions accordingly.

More idiotic Z-bullshit.
Religious zealots ask us to legislate public morality by denying treatment to ill people, forcing all members of the public to be exposed to the religious texts specific to their religion, denying public benefits to to those whose sexual behaviour they don't like (and the Moron Troll LoZZZer is one of ET's vocal homophobes), denying women the right to control their own destinies, and the list goes on.
The majority stands up and says 'No! We don't want our actions constrained by your faith-informed notions of what is right and wrong'.
And what is the response of faith-mongers like the idiotic alcoholic Troll? What is their absurdist response?
ZTroll: Rejection of the idea that all of you should be governed by our faith-informed notion of what is right and wrong represents action against us [!!??].
We've seen in the past that the Asshole ZTroll has no compunction about posting utter bullshit. This is a classic example.
I guess we shouldn't expect these dreamers to be able to see the logical contradictions in this position. After all, they believe in a fairy tale about goats with 24 eyes, rising from the dead, fire and brimstone and a red guy with horns, and ghosts and goblins. Critical thinking is obviously not their forte.
