In my previous question, someone preempted this and said, “No.” I beg to differ; an atheist can use stem cell research or genetic engineering to invent ‘good’ technology whereas a Christian is limited by their beliefs like an overloaded cart limits a pony and this is only one such example. Are there any others?

Atheists can more properly relate the value of one life to another based on its sentience and ability to feel sufferring.
Atheists can tell you how they really feel without feeling guilty.
Atheists can do what it is in their nature to do based on reason instead of a set of ten rules.
Atheists rarely follow hierarchy or rules when it doesn't suit them. They have no fear of going to hell so they will kill to protect themselves without wondering if it's right or wrong.
Atheists can smoke all the weed they want to.
Atheists can acknowledge the power of money.
Atheists can show integrity, paying for their own "sins", not fearing damnation or hoping for heaven.

Man be it Atheist or Christian is limited. Satan is powerless against God. God inspires man to do anything he wants or needs done. God invented all technology there is no limit to what the Lord of lords and the King of kings can do. I am thinking he is also the Presidents of presidents. There is no limit to his power. Exodus 4. He made mans mind and mouth.
I also beg to differ...and he does too.Psalm chapter 50. He owns the world and everything in it.

What you can do doesn't have anything to do with religion so this question is utterly ridiculous. Good and bad are measured by each person just because someone is christian doesn't mean they will look at good an bad the same as another christian the same goes for us atheists.

Everyone has the same chances of doing something good. Christians and atheists aren't handicapped in any way.

Both atheist and christian are created in image of God.
Both are sinners, Christians, though completely undeserving of salvation, and yet somehow saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Both are recipients of God's common grace, enabling them do good.

We atheists can do whatever we want without fear of a mighty "being" that will burn us when we pass. We can live our own lives and make our own decisions. We can have abortions, we can be gay, there's many more, but not believing frees you.

Atheists can't judge people and tell them they are going to Hell. Atheists don't believe in Hell.
I feel bad for Atheists. Christians make it look like telling someone they are going to hell is a fun thing to do. Darnit.

hmm... depends on the christian of course. but i guess we're talking about specifically the conservative evangelicals.
they can't perform abortions, support equal rights for homosexuals, or do any good thing the bible forbids.
