This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Atheists are more peaceful because they tend to have a much more realistic views of the world by basing their thinking in logic instead of emotion/faith. How a person thinks greatly influences how they act, which is so very true here. Religion causes violent behavior, I know, call the press....
I believe one of the biggest reasons for why atheist nations are that much more peaceful is because they are not as paranoid. Believing that an all-powerful being is constantly watching/judging probably makes many people go nuts. People are scared to death of the government turning into big-brother because they already know what that feeling is like. Paranoia is the leading cause of violence, and religion creates a sense of paranoia for many reasons (topic for another day).
