You're making it sound like being "bad" is a bad thing.

I have heard that Gates is an atheist before but I have seen no evidence of it. Also, anyone know if Buffett is an atheist too?

you can tell he is an atheist because he doesn't have drool running down his chin.
You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

If I was Gates, I would just walk up to some random person and give him a large sum of money. With the amount of money the Gates foundation has, he could do it all day long for the rest of his life.

another famous and rich atheist: george soros
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

If gates had knowledge of history and neurology he'd direct his immense fortune and resources to eradicate humanity's greatest disease. Religious-psychosis. It has killed billions more than AIDS ever will.
Christians and other folks infected with delusional beliefs think and reason like schizophrenics or temporal lobe epileptics. Their morality is dictated by an invisible friend called Jesus.

Considering how much of his philanthropy has been towards giving college scholarships, I would say he is doing just that.

I agree. By donating so much money towards education he's been helping to make humanity smarter, and eventually that will eradicate religiosity.

Education alone doesn't cure schizophrenia or TLE and neither would it cure one of its most virulent strains, my postulated Christ-psychosis. One must realize Benedictus XVI is a very well educated man so is Behe and many scientists which believe in creationism. Mental illness doesn't discriminate. Religious delusions will be with us till religious beliefs are exposed for the type of neurological anomaly they truly are. IMHO a form of schizophrenia and borna virus combination working in unison affecting the temporal lobes. An educated population will not guarantee freedom of mental illness, and accepting delusions as reality has nothing to do with intelligence....
