Does anyone here fear that the number of presumed number of sociopaths is far less than the actual figure?

Question

You see many theists here ("many" means "a lot", not "most") who can not comprehend doing good or being a good person unless they are promised a reward or threatened with punishment.
They seem completely surprised when an atheist actually wants to help others. Many profess about objective morality and seem unable to comprehend how subjective to particular situations morality is. Anything other than the rules outlined in bronze age mythology seems to puzzle them.

To the theists who are actually nice people who do good for the sake of doing good, this question is not for you. There may be things that we disagree on but we should at least be able to agree that anyone who does good acts just for a reward or to avoid a punishment may be a few nails short of a box.

Good acts make you feel good about yourself. Therefore the good feeling is the reward for the act.If you admit it or not its still true

I have no fear. The most vocal are usually the most sociopathic and the least in number... even though their vociferousness makes them appear to far more populous.

You've only just now discovered this? To paraphrase Stephen King I'd say that we are all crazy, others are just better at hiding it. Sociopathy is the human condition.

Actually the Bible says that there is not one "good person" on the planet earth.  Your words show that you are ignorant of the Bible and the Christian faith.

Before you criticize something with harsh words, you should take a little time to learn something about it.  Otherwise, your commentary on it makes no sense.

A casual stroll through a lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
