To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Everything about this post is spot on. It is especially valuable as it gently but clearly urges the poster to address the OPQ rather than question the mindset of the poster who asked it.

George Orwell:: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Gender ideology is anti-science, anti truth.

"You seem to be disagreeing with scientific specialization. If not, please would you explain the perihelion precession of Mercury in terms of consciousness?"
Yep, that pretty much blows the hypothesis of the OP clean out of the water.

Exactly. Con artists are claiming out of the woodwork all over the place lately and religious proselytizers are no exception. They should be ashamed of themselves for trying to take advantage of a serious pandemic.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU
It is sad that in an age of freedom some people are enslaved by the nomads of old. - Marco
If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb
