I wanted to explore this a bit as I'm self-studying utilitarianism atm, and trying to figure out how the whole thing works. Figured I'd present an argument, and have some other perspectives.

Right and Wrong can be determined by what is rational and what is irrational. Rational and irrational can be determined by what brings about the most pleasure and what brings about the most pain. (TDD pointed this out: Rational and Irrational can be determined by what course leads to the most pleasure vs. the most pain. (Can't get the right words >.<))

Atheists have a hard time as they're surrounded by folks who constantly attack them for not falling to their knees and worshipping. This is painful. Therefore, not changing is irrational, and therefore, being an Atheist is wrong.

Being a theist of any kind is more accepted as a social norm, thus making life easier, thus minimizing stress and optimizing pleasure, thus making it rational, thus making it right.

Am I right?
