>>18423938Meh, I generally consider myself an atheist but sometimes I lean towards Cultural Christianity/Christian Atheism because I do think religion as an institution can be a force for good when it wants to be
>>18423938You have to cherry-pick because most scientists aren't theistic, especially physicists, and you are aware of this.
>>18424910I'd imagine a lot of scientists are Deists at the very least. Like Einstein for example
Anything but atheism is just a cope.
>>18424910Physicists actually show the strongest affinity for religion, generally either Christianity or some kind of Deism, of the major disciplines of science. Try reading something before forming an opinion.
>>18424910It depends I think, because science doesn't actually say anything about the idea of a God or gods at the end of the day, science can make claims about religion itself though, which is why when you do see a Christian scientist for example, they're almost always closer to a so-called "Cafeteria Christian" than they are to a "Real Christian". I think for the most part, scientists are mostly on a spectrum between Deism and Atheism, you have a lot of the "Music of the spheres" types in the scientific community like Einstein and Neil Armstrong
>>18424974This is an empirical claim. What's your evidence?
>>18423938>praying and reading the Bible while building rocketsSounds kino and I say that as someone who doesn't believe in any religion.

>>18425254Do your own research
>>18423951A lot of atheist discourse treats religion as a set of empirical claims, like did Jesus actually rise from the dead and can you prove it yes or no. That's useful in science and I think superstition is ultimately nonsense, but that's not what really animates religion in people's lives. I consider myself an atheist too and there are aspects of religious texts that are like you MUST believe in me your God, and I'm like nah or well sure okay but not really. Feels like I'd have to really be at the end of my rope to go for that, but it does shape a morality for people. And the fact is even if I don't believe in God my morality is shaped by a culturally Christian (and Protestant) background. The people who become astronauts also tend to be boy scouts like Air Force pilots.
>>18425347Well, religion IS just a set of empirical claims. You can debunk religion with science, but you can't debunk theism. That's the difference, you can believe in God without being religious or having religious baggage tied to your beliefs, which is why I think there are a lot of Deist in the scientific community
>>18425254Where was yours?
Im gonna sacrifice to a moon god to have this faggots killed.
>>18423938Apollo and Artemis are not Christian. Also the first man on the moon was not Christian either. All of this despite the cultural dominance of Christianity in the west. Seethe.
>>18424974>Physicists actually show the strongest affinity for religion, generally either Christianity orFuck no
>>18425507>Apollo and Artemis are not Christian. Also the first man on the moon was not Christian either.The first man on the moon wasn't an atheist either though you moron, way to miss the point OP was trying to make (he never mentioned Christianity even once by the way)
>>18425508
>>18425508>>18425514I have a feeling these guys see religion and God from a purely theological standpoint ie prime mover arguments for God and sociologicsl impact of it. I doubt they believe that snakes can talk like your average mexichristian.
>>18423938This must go so hard if you're mentally retarded
According to ai physicists and biologists are the least religious. I can't be bothered up to check if this is true, but it makes sense.
>>18425524That's because the main scientific revolutions which shook theism occurred in physics and biology (copernican heliocentrism and darwinian evolution).
>>18425510>moron, way to miss the point OP was trying to make (he never mentioned Christianity even once by the way)You christkikes are retarded and illiterate. Christianity is mentioned in the pic he posted, you subhuman idiot.>>18425514I agree that fanatical atheists are wrong but I am not sure that quote is genuine.>>18425517They probably don't believe Jesus raised from the dead even if they believe in God so none of this is an argument for Christianity.
>>18425529>I agree that fanatical atheists are wrong but I am not sure that quote is genuine.It's real, and Einstein himself was probably a Deist, his religious views were heavily influenced by Spinoza's Ethics
Lying about Einstein's religious beliefs and misquoting him was so popular during Einstein's time too. So much so that he had to say this:>"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly."
>>18425534He also said specifically in one of his personal letters that he wasn't an atheist according to Walter Isaacson in his biography of Einstein He describes a so-called "Cosmic Religious Sense" in an article he wrote for the New York Times as well, and insisted that Religion and Science were not necessarily incompatible with each otherhttps://www.nytimes.com/1930/11/09/archives/religion-and-science.html
>>18425537He explains what he means by religion in that article, read it. He definitely did not believe in the personal god of traditional religions, as my quote above shows. And he surely does not think that the universe being 6000 years old or people raising from the dead are compatible with science.
>>18423938>I believe in God so everyone must also secretly believeChristians are genuinely at the level of a toddler struggling to imagine someone likes strawberry ice cream more than chocolate ice cream and getting upset about it.
>>18425541>And he surely does not think that the universe being 6000 years old or people raising from the dead are compatible with science.Nobody is implying this, the only person ITT currently bringing up Christards is your spastic ass
>>18425547Why are you so upset that I'm pointing out the misinformation and lies being posted about einstein by religious people?
>>18425566What misinformation? Nobody said or implied that Einstein was a Christard. People are arguing that he was a Deist, and so far most of his religious views are more in-line with Deism. Get a fucking grip anon
>>18425570Why are these people bringing up "deism" in a thread about christianity? Stop being a disingenuous and dishonest liar.
>>18425574Because we're talking about religion in the scientific community, I'm not even the OP. Seriously dude take your meds
>>18425576Again, why are you upset that I'm pointing out misinformation about lies? (yes, selective quoting and omission as you are doing IS misinformation). Go ahead and discuss religion among scientists if you want to. Nothing I have posted prevents you from doing that, you retarded moron.
>>18423938Praise Kanaima Nightmare, the demon God
>>18424910You mean jews?
"Deism" is not a religion, btw
>>18423938Christians will suck the cock of any scientists that faintly nod on Christianity
>>18425517Cope
