m4th.com — An interesting trend on sites such as Digg, Slashdot and Shuzak suggests that atheism is the "religion" of choice among geeks. Why is atheism more popular among geeks when clearly the average person is religious? Well this article might have an explanation.

Ummm, is it because geeks are smart?

I see. So the nearly 5 billion people on this planet that are believers in some religious faith are "not mentally stable"?So I guess you consider jihadist Muslims and their sympathizers as not mentally stable? This would presume that there's actually something wrong with them when they blow up women and children. Perhaps it isn't America's fault after all -- these people are committing these acts of war because they're mentally unstable. You've really opened my eyes. You atheists are just so smart.

Hoopers,I appreciate your reply to my comment (that is a rare event in my experience). I was wondering, has a Christian told you that you are incapable of moral thought because you aren't Christian? If so that is a false claim and I could share a bit more about why.

If a word means something different to everyone who uses it, it has no meaning at all.In reality, people play word games with the word "God" so they can continue believing in God without having to defend that belief.The Bible and the Koran do a pretty good job of defining God -- and that definition turns out to be logically incomprehensible, not just unproven. The God of the Bible does not exist in the same way a four-cornered triangle does not exist. QED

you might need to quote some passages from the Koran to back up that claim... I don't recall seeing anything that said kill everyone who won't convert, but I could have missed something.

As a fellow geek we better hope we are right, because if we aren't it's gonna be hell without the interwebs

that is an incorrect use of statistics. with your sample size of one, the "chance" of life arising is 1 or, 100%. DO NOT use statistics when your sample size is small.

All philosophies are made up. It comes down to what makes you feel good (and doesn't have a negative impact on the people around you). Accepting something as fact where i don't have all the information is uncomfortable to me. I cannot accept god because I don't have enough information to support the existence of god.
