Your logic is flawed. Since some christians and some atheists come to the same conclusion does not imply that this conclusion is not dependent on worldview for all christians and atheists.
For all atheists and Christians, no. However, what it does show is that you cannot use the differing worldviews as the reason that conclusion is reached for all, or even the majority of them. It is much more likely that there is a different reason, for example the overwhelming evidence in favor of evolution.

Why do men have nipples?

I actually thought about this when discussing the topic of homosexuality with someone who made the claim that there is a "proper" way to use the anus for sex. I thought that was nonsense because obviously there's a proper function already associated with that body part. To use it for sex is about as proper as using it for eating food; there are already male and female parts that are proper for each other, just as there is a proper place to put food into your body.

But then I thought this line of reasoning through a bit further: if all body parts have their proper function, then what is the proper function of nipples of men?

Serious question. Women have breasts and nipples to suckle their children; one might argue that they are also for sex appeal in order to attract a mate. But men? Why do men have them? Why do women cover their larger breasts and nipples when they go to the beach while men typically do not their smaller equivalent? I guess it's because for women their exposure is considered inappropriate and sexual, whereas for men it is not.

Some argue that men have nipples primarily for pleasure, but it does seem weird to me that God would create nipples on men for this reason. For example, if you reason that God gave women a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] to experience sexual pleasure, well then it seems like he put it in the corresponding place: with her sexual organs. But nipples on men just seem like a curious pair of concentrated nerve endings that are there out of place for no real reason except to be yanked by school bullies if you are a kid.

Anyway, share your opinion on this incredibly important question.

Why do women have breasts when nipples are needed to feed a baby?
