What is the significance of atheists having funny avatars?

I’ve noticed that the atheists (and other similar types) tend to have funny or self-effacing avatars, while your typical Christian here tends to have (honestly) a stock YA avatar with a dull look on its face. :)

I don’t say this to be insulting, but it’s true. I can look at most of these YA faces and tell you if it’s a Christian or not simply by how stupid the expression looks. (Okay, maybe I do say it to be insulting) Anyway…

Even though my genetically engineered intellect should already have this answer, what is the psychological difference between believers and non-believers that would cause such a radical difference in the way they present themselves here?

(I’ve also noticed that Christian "musicians" also tend to be… not so hip either.)

My newly evolved feet are too cute not to show off.

  8. thats coz athiests have a broad spectrum of thinking, and the strict believers think only in a narrow spectrum.not wanting to THINK at all
    atheists do not believe that meerly out-of-common thinking is anti-humanity as the believers
    this is not the case with believers like me of course,coz i believe that god is our creation just to make us walk on the right path of humanity

  10. I don’t know, I’m an atheist and I have a dull YA avatar. ;) I suppose I could upload a picture of some sort but I’m far too picky, for now.
