I wasn't arguing that atheism would unite people. I wasn't even arguing that atheism leads to better quality of life. I was simply pointing out that your argument was based on a false premise. The nations with high quality of life are not relatively religious, but relatively non-religious.
Atheism is not defined by the behaviour of atheists (and certainly not by your perceptions of atheists). Atheism is also not a system of belief. It is not instructions for living an effective life. It is nothing but the belief there is no diety.
Finally your accusal of atheism being arrogant or hypocritical is bizarre and patently prejudiced. I don't know why you believe the average atheist pushes for radial change, or why this is relevant to what atheism is anyway even if it were true. I think your overconfidence that led you to "guarantee" that atheism is not a factor in Norway's quality of life rating was arrogant. I think your response of "perhaps" to me also appears arrogant since I made no argument and merely pointed out an empirical fact.
Maybe you should expand your social network and readings a little since you seem to have some warped perceptions of atheism and atheists.
