Quote : | " This line of thought has led to some scientists claiming that “atheism is psychologically impossible because of the way humans think,” says Graham Lawton, an avowed atheist himself, writing in the New Scientist. “They point to studies showing, for example, that even people who claim to be committed atheists tacitly hold religious beliefs, such as the existence of an immortal soul.”" |
What? I don't believe in an immortal soul and I think most of the atheists I know don't either.7/16/2014 9:44:22 AM |

Did I miss the part where they point us to those studies? Because I don't believe that I have an immortal soul, I'm interested in the study that says that I do. In fact, they later cite a study that showed that 13% don't believe that there is a spiritual element to humanity, which seems to be in direct conflict to the quoted statement.
The rest of the stuff makes sense and isn't shocking, but that quoted statement is the leap that is necessary to support the author's point and it's not really supported anywhere in the piece that I can see. 7/16/2014 9:57:13 AM |
