Agreed, falsifiability isn’t the issue. But there is a problem with the question being ill-defined. Questions such as “Does atheism make society less moral?” have to be unpacked using counterfactuals, which in turn can be unpacked only if you have some precise conception of the alternative scenarios within some robust theory. These are missing in all discussions of these questions that I’ve seen.
