Resolved: Atheists Are More Cat People Than Dog People

Having co-habited with many cats over the years, I've found them to be free-thinking and inquisitive, like atheists. Dogs seem to be more accepting, more willing to go along. I think this accounts for the fact that atheists tend to favor cats over dogs. (I'm not saying atheists hate dogs--just that we're better attuned to cats.) Comments?

I love that all these dogs have been rescued!  Too bad they were treated so horribly in the first place the poor things!  All of my cats have been rescues.  If we ever get another dog it will DEFINITELY be a rescue!

Guilty as charged here. I have three cats (Junkmail, Fido, and Auto-Kitty), down from four (cause Burp is with my nephew now).

Don't have any dogs.

I don't favor cats.  I hate cats with a passion.  I am a dog lover.  As far as I am concerned, a good cat is a dead cat.
