Venn Diagrams: Religious & Atheist

Postby nycmath » Thu Aug 20, 2026 9:00 am

Let circle R = religious

Let circle A = atheist

Create a venn diagram using both circles to show 3 similarities and 3 differences between a religious person and an atheist. Draw your venn diagrams.

Two overlapping circles: R = religious, A = atheist. The overlap holds the similarities, the outer parts hold the differences.

Code: Select all
   +----------- R (religious) -----------+
   |  R ONLY                             |
   |  1. Believes in God                 |
   |  2. Prays, worships, holy days      |
   |  3. Meaning and morality from       |
   |     religion; often an afterlife    |
   |     +------ BOTH ------+------------+--- A (atheist) ---+
   |     | 1. Moral values  |  A ONLY                        |
   |     | 2. Same big      |  1. Does not believe in God    |
   |     |    questions     |  2. No worship or scripture    |
   |     | 3. Family and    |  3. Meaning and morality from  |
   |     |    community     |     reason and experience      |
   +-----+------------------+                                |
         +---------------------------------------------------+


So [tex]R \cap A[/tex] = the 3 similarities, [tex]R \setminus A[/tex] and [tex]A \setminus R[/tex] = the 3 differences, paired up. Note the overlap describes the people - on the belief itself the two sets are disjoint - and these are typical cases, not rules about every individual.

I don't see circles in your reply. I thank you but your answer needs circles.
