Atheism, bestiality and penile cancer

There is a positive correlation between engaging in bestiality and penile cancer.[1][2][3]

The United States is far more religious than secular Europe (see: Global atheism and American atheism). Secular Europe recently had a notable problem with bestiality (see: Bestiality and secular Europe).

A 2014 study found that the incidence rate of penile cancer in the USA is 0.58 per 100,000. In Europe, the incidence rate of the disease is 1.33 per 100,000.[4]

A Brazilian medical study found that men who engaged in bestiality were twice as likely to develop penile cancer.[5]

In areas of the Western World where there is a significant amount of atheists, there have been notable problems related to bestiality (see: Bestiality and various geographic areas and Atheism and bestiality).

A 2015 Jerusalem Post article indicates "Copenhagen has for long been the bestiality capital of Europe and has attracted many tourists mainly visiting to have sex with animals. Legislation against this practice was only enacted this year."[6]

Vice News, a global news channel which broadcasts documentaries about current topics, reported in 2014 concerning secular Europe:

“  |  Bestiality is having a weird renaissance in Europe. Perhaps ironically, it kicked off when activists succeeded in banning the practice in places like Germany and Norway. In the background, something else emerged simultaneously: an animal-sex-tourism industry, which has been blossoming in Denmark.[7] |  ”

The journal article Sex with Animals (SWA): Behavioral Characteristics and Possible Association with Penile Cancer. A Multicenter Study points out that bestiality is positively correlated to penile cancer. [8]

According to the Medical Xpress website:

“  |  The new study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, finds a link between bestiality and penile cancer.

The study, led by urologist Stenio de Cassio Zequi in San Paulo, looked at 492 men from rural Brazil. The men participating ranged in age from 18 to 80. Of the 492 men, 118 had been diagnosed with penile cancer.

Of the 188 men with penile cancer, 45 percent had sexual relations with animals compared with 32 percent of the healthy males. Of those men who had sexual relations with animals, 59 percent reported having sex with animals for one to five years and 21 percent had been doing it for more than five years.

Sexual interaction occurred as often as daily and included animals such as horses, cows, pigs and chickens.

Researchers believe that sexual interaction between humans and animals may produce micro-traumas in the penis such as scratches and cuts. They theorize that animal secretions may be toxic to humans and that some unrecognized microorganism may be responsible for the cause of penile cancer.[9]

NBC New York reported:

“  |  In a study of 492 men from rural Brazil, 35 percent reprted having had sex with an animal at men who had sex some point in their lives. The report found those men were twice as likely to develop cancer of the penis.

The paper was authored by a team of urologists from centers around Brazil and studied men from age 18 to 80. Men who had had sex with animals also reported a higher incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. Of the 118 penile cancer patients, 45 percent reported having had sex with animals, compared to 32 percent of healthy men. Fifty-nine percent of men who had sex with animals did so for one to five years, while 21 percent continued the behavior, also known as zoophilia, for more than five years.

Men reported having sex as frequently as daily with such animals as mares, cows, pigs and and chickens. Penile cancer accounts for up to 10 percent of cancers in men in Asia, Africa and South America, although it is rare in the U.S.[10]

## Study: Secular Europe has about twice the rate of penile cancer than the religious United States[edit]

Irving Berlin's song God Bless America is a popular American patriotic song written by Berlin in 1918. See: Sociology of "atheism is un-American" view and American atheism

Secular Europe recently had a notable problem with bestiality (see: Bestiality and secular Europe).

The 2017 medical journal article entitled Incidence of penile cancer worldwide: systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública/Pan American Journal of Public Health indicated: "Penile cancer is a rare malignancy, especially in developed countries, in which the annual incidence is below 1 case per 100,000 men."[11]

As noted above, there is a positive correlation between engaging in bestiality and penile cancer.

In the United States, Pew Research survey data indicates that the percentage of atheists in the United States has remained at 4% from 2015 to July 2019.[12] See: American atheism

As noted above, penile cancer is rare in the United States.[13]

The 2014 medical journal article Risk Factors and Prevalence of Penile Cancer which was published in the West Indian Medical Journal indicates: "The incidence rate of penile cancer in the USA is 0.58 per 100,000. In Europe, the incidence rate of the disease is 1.33 per 100,000."[14]

The Brazilian study noted above, indicates that men who engage in bestiality have twice the rate of penile cancer.[15]

On the other hand, a 2017 metastudy reported that North America (Includes United States and Canada) had a rate of penile cancer cases of .91 people per 100,000 people and Europe had a rate of .90 penile cancer cases per 100,000 people.[16]

## Metastudy on penile cancer and some irreligious/nonreligious countries[edit]

A 2017 metastudy on penile cancer reported that: the Socialist Republic of Romania (Marxist-Leninist one-party communist/atheist state) had a 7.2 people with penile cancer per 100,000 people between the years of 1983- 1987; Vietnam (Vietnam has state atheism) had a rate of 2.34 people with penile cancer per 100,000 people between the years of 1991-1993; and Sweden had a rate of 2.1 people with penile cancer per 100,000 people between the years of 2000-2012 (Sweden is one of the most atheistic counties in the world and the website adherents.com reported that in 2005 46 - 85% of Swedes were agnostics/atheists/non-believers in God.[17]).
