Utter non-sense, and the christians are going to grasp onto that article with both hands and not let it go because it's one point on their side.
There is a church school right down the block from my home, and the kids that i see walking home from that school are some of the worst little troublemakers i've seen in my time.... and it's funny how a lot of the parents drive beamers, and lexuses(?) and mercedes' and hummers...etc. I can see how they are giving back to god. Apparently god wants them to own the nicest cars they can possibly buy so they can impress him.
Edit:
Sybil above me made a great point. They asked parents how well/mis behaved their children are. They didn't observe the children.... they simply asked the parents how they behave. The parents could've said anything they want without there being any real proof that the children were as "behaved" as they claimed.

The study is based on what the parents report concerning the kids behavior. Not observing the kids. The study is self serving and ridiculous. Also, the religious people have an image to uphold and the ones without religion are frankly more honest people about their feelings. Did you read the article at all? If so, did you comprehend it?

religion is the WORSE thing anyone can expose to a child...
It's a crime !
but, look @ religion and their religious beliefs...
start brain-washing the kids once they come out of their mother.
What a pity... and a shame for the ignorant religious people...
Everyone that is or was in religion DO NOT go to Heaven.
Do this and eliminate religion from YourLife:
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!

I have three problems with this study
1. who controlled it?
2. If parents fight about anything in front of their children they could be causing negative social behavior for their kids
3. It has typos.

Oh that's just bs!
My atheist kids are better behaved than most of the snotty little brats I see hanging around the local church, harrassing the other kids.
I think atheist/agnostic kids as a whole are better behaved because as parents, we teach them to be accountable to themselves and society, not some imaginary deity.

I'm Christian, so according to atheists I'm not supposed to think.
