I frequently expose myself to Christian apologists and attempt to interact with some of them. In virtually all contact with them, there is a major "blind spot": they view atheists as a monolith. This blog post is a clear and succinct explanation of the two major differences within atheism.
There
are two main categories of us: magical thinking atheists; science-based
thinking atheists. The former are atheists who are ripe for an emotional appeal
and are easily persuaded by arguments such as Aquinas’ Five Proofs for the
existence of God. In essence, it is this type of atheist that is liable to be persuaded by philosophical/theological arguments The latter are much harder to change beliefs as they require
sufficient objective evidence. The link below is a look into the thinking of us science-based thinking atheists:
A summary of my letter to Christian apologists
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
