Atheism=cope

[Deleted member 10913]

INFANTS are hard-wired to believe in God, and atheism has to be learned, according to an Oxford University psychologist.

Dr Olivera Petrovich told a University of Western Sydney conference on the psychology of religion that even preschool children constructed theological concepts as part of their understanding of the physical world.
Pyschologists have debated whether belief in God or atheism was the natural human state. According to Dr Petrovich, an expert in psychology of religion, belief in God is not taught but develops naturally.
Dr Petrovich said her findings were based on several studies, particularly one of Japanese children aged four to six, and another of 400 British children aged five to seven from seven different faiths.

"Atheism is definitely an acquired position," she said.

---

Long story short Believe in God is hardwired into the brain, meaning it is something that is necessary for survival. Atheism is a position that comes from nurture not nature.

water, humans need to be able to explain things which they don't understand so the brain conjures up certain beliefs, all groups of people no matter how advanced or primitive had religious beliefs for this reason, also religion offers comfort because it tends to assure life after death, none of this can be empirically proven though it's just a coping mechanism our brain creates.

the problem with muslims , is that they forget that their religion is the truth , and then liberals come and shame them for spreading islam with war(islamic campaigns didn't kill any children or women) they become defensive ,when infact you should question them on why , "free speech" is a right

You're trying to make arguments from a position of authority. Nothing more than confirmation bias.

The point is that believe in God is something HARDWIRED, it's not a matter of comfort. Atheism is something that is Nurtured, you learn it, you aren't born with it in your brain. Atheism is more likely to be a cope then anything.

Same argument can be applied to atheism honestly, people don't want any sort of authority in their lives even the right ones. They are more likely to accept views that reject it even if it goes against their nature.

what argument did you make again other then not reading one sentence? right nothing. Look wether you accept it or not. You can't deny the fact that your brain is predispositioned, hardwired in believing in God. Obviously everyone has bias but it doesn't make my argument or this research anything less of value

The concept of supernatural beings is hardwired because humans need a way to explain the inexplicable, it doesn't make it true, have you ever talked to children before they have absurd superstitious beliefs about many things that doesn't make them true.

Your argument is poor, it's like saying science is something that isn't hardwired within us but is taught and nurtured so it's cope, that just sounds ridiculous. Also most mordern religions are also taught and nurtured no one is born a muslim, hindu or christian they are things you learn from others.

That's 100% untrue most cultures worldwide were polytheistic, most religions are polytheistic, it's only in recent times when Christianity and Islam took over the world that people are monotheistic, even Christianity has polytheistic elements especially catholicism (even though it isn't).

lol. other *than. You can't even get that right.

Most people are predispostioned to believe in god because most people have normie intellect. Athiesm is considered an intellegent trait for a reason. any kind of skepticism , deductive reasoning, critical thinking would lead you to god being highly unlikely and almost certainly not in the way described. "Everybody has bias" is not a good excuse. Good science isn't biased, it is reliant on facts not feelings, foid.

The point was specific in the believe of God. from the study (if you read it) it became clear that Children from japan believed in God despite their Shinto religion. Atheism on the otherhand can only be taught. Not one human is predispositioned in this. Every atheist is conditioned.

have you ever talked to children before they have absurd superstitious beliefs

what has that to do with it.

it's like saying science is something that isn't hardwired within us but is taught and nurtured so it's cope, that just sounds ridiculous

your again going out of the subject.

science isn't a good way to live .

because it is only a method of thinking. Like many others. Does one human expirement before he takes a step or does he do that dogmatically

nobody is born an atheist , science isn't a way to live life , its a way of understanding the world , and it changes every day , science doesn't give you certainty.

science doesn't teach you morals or laws

And being from nature= good? You can make a point that raping and murdering is natural too. Disease is from "nature" as well.

man the point is that your brain is hardwired in believing to God. That means you function and can only understand the world by doing so

The argument would be that it is true. Good or bad is subjective at this point. Your brain being hardwired means that you can only function properly by accepting God's existence.

"Results indicate that the oldest trait of religion, present in the most recent common ancestor of present-day hunter-gatherers, was animism, in agreement with long-standing beliefs about the fundamental role of this trait. Belief in an afterlife emerged, followed by shamanism and ancestor worship. Ancestor spirits or high gods who are active in human affairs were absent in early humans"

LOL, i had to be taught about god and I was always asking question they were all answered but I was always skeptical by the time. Despite every effort to turn me into a GIGA Christian it didn't add up, especially with more information at my disposal. I went from asking questions, to agnostic to atheist.
Morality is human nature and comes with intellect but you may even call it naivety or it can be risk taking because life is inherently valuable. these books/manuscripts/whatever the fuck else, are fake as fuck.
