anywhere there are people who do not fear God(atheist and non)
If by atheist convention, can we be loose with the definition and include CEO's compensation packages?
you know, the ones where the CEO gets a 5million dollar bonus every year?

Corruption can mean 1-rotting,2- turning evil, or 3-taking bribes and the like.
As far as the first two definitions go I would definitely say Churches. This is because I really feel that in order to rot or turn towards evil you have to first be free from rotteness and evil. This being so, atheist conventions can't compete with churches because they are already rotten and turned from Goodness Himself and have nowhere lower to sink to.
As goes the third definition I would again say Churches because it is those in high places who usually fall into the sin of taking bribes. As we know, atheists are not in high positions for the most part. At least not spiritually high places...

Atheist conventions are not as widely reported or have the degree of history as organized Christian churches. Yes theirs pockets of corruption in Christian churches and some are widely known because of the audiences they reach. My question to you (as an Atheist) is , WHY be good at all ? I'm not talking about keeping from being arrested in a civilized society. What is the purpose for being good, nice. Whats the purpose of being a "moral' person. Do you feel good from it? Why do you feel good from it? Peace.

People are most likely to find corruption within themselves. Athiest or Christian, none of us are exempt from having corrupt hearts. Solomn, who is slated as being the wisest man in history, says in Ecclecisastes: "There is not one righteous man, no not one."
We all do wrong in God's eyes. THAT is why Jesus came to Earth. We were lost without him.
Well, that's about the shortest answer I have ever given on this site, but there you go. If you want more IM me at my yahoo ID.

Corruption is able to be everywhere but I'd say churches.
