That's what second opinions are for.
Or, you can just go ahead with your theory bullshit idea that a doctor who is predisposed to a particular idea (religious psychiatrist) is better able to provide an unbiased diagnosis.
isnt atheism being predisposed to a particular idea also they exclude any possibility of God ... the only unbiased view is someone who is open to all possibilities but not particularily for or against . which wouldnt be an atheist or theist . if a psych cant be unbiased i would rather them knowledgeable to the fact that God exists.
Atheism, to me, is simply a non belief in deities.
Most atheists I know do not make the definitive claim that there is/are no god/gods.
Most are open to evidence but have a standard of evidence that most theists don't seem to want to try. For instance, we always hear personal testimonies. Such evidence is only such to those who have had such personal experiences. Not to the rest of us.
