Oh, yes, let's have a discussion about Thor. But which Thor? The Iron Druid Thor? The Urban Shaman Thor? Or some other Thor?
OK, I'll be serious. ;-) Although still a bit OT.
Agnostics seem to be under-represented here. Basically it is a "who knows?" sort of thing. No one comes back from the beyond to tell us (except in fiction, Hi Kris). I know, we are supposed to "have faith". But if we are a group that examines how we live our lives financially instead of going with the flow, we should expect to find people on here who also examine other aspects of their lives critically.
Wasn't the Protestant Reformation all about rejecting religious authority? It seems it only went part way - the Catholic Church and Papal Infallibility was rejected, but the bible (old collection of stories, plus then another collection of slightly more recent stories) was still accepted as authority. My view may be jaundiced, I grew up Anglican, and may be a little skeptical given the origins of the Anglican Church.
By the way, the only person I had ever heard of in the original list (Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Ricky Gervais, Richard Dawkins) is Richard Dawkins. His genetics work added to biologists' understanding of natural selection at the molecular level. New genetic understanding (i.e. junk DNA, male sterility genes in plants, etc.) was not a surprise based on his work.
And, biologists (and other scientists) do not have to automatically be atheists or agnostics - as Stephen Jay Gould mentioned in one of his books (Rock of Ages, I think, this is all from memory), one of the Popes said that science and religion are different domains, and what is valid in one (either one) is irrelevant to the other. Non-overlapping magisteria was the term - and one can accept or reject, but it is definitely an interesting way of looking at things.
Atheists have yet to convince me that their religion has any value.
Atheism is by definition not a religion. It is the lack of a belief in any deities. Occasionally one does encounter atheists with behavior resembling that of religious people, but I can't speak for them; I can only speak to the total lack of justification for generalizing that behavior to all of us.
Babies are all born atheist. Some are later conditioned to become otherwise.
Note that I'm not arguing against the existence of whatever god you believe in, nor do we have to get into that right now. I'm not really into that stuff anyway. But the above are common misconceptions and misrepresentations that should be avoided, regardless of your beliefs or opinions.
Atheism is absolutely a religion. They have a Pope (Neil DeGrasse Tyson), Cardinals and other Clergy (Ricky Gervais, Richard Dawkins, etc.) Atheists believe in the mystical power of meta-physics which cannot be proven or disproven. They have religious texts written by their clergy (Books about anti-theism). They have churches where they meet (Facebook groups, internet forums, etc.) It's really funny to observe all this, when atheists are so adamant about not being religious.
I'm pretty sure this must be tough-in-check, because it's too idiotic for anyone to actually think it's true. The Holy See Neil DeGrasse Tyson, lol. That was pretty funny. I refuse to believe that anyone is dumb enough to think this is a reasonable argument.
Atheist means the person don't believe in supernatural beings. That's it. They have no other common features. Might as well have a group for people who don't believe in unicorns. Or the group I'm sure you belong to: people who don't believe in the existence of Thor/Jupiter/Zeus? I don't walk around every day thinking about by disbelief, or pondering the non-existence of gods. Or read tomes about the lack of supernatural beings.
Do you read books about, and go to meetings to discuss your disbelief in Thor? Thought not. It's the same for many (most?) atheists.
