Simply by "believing", instead of holding on to knowledge, they are bringing dishonesty into the world. That has a negative impact on us all. With the age of the internet, where everybody has instant access to information, "non theism" or the lack of belief has become the fastest growing demographic when compared to religious groups. This is REALLY GOOD NEWS for us all.
