Instead of asking
#66
RE: Instead of asking
Theists are gullible because people are gullible. I know atheists who play the lotto on the scientifically sound principle that 'Someone's gotta win', and people indifferent to religion who fall for the latest pseudo-scientific 'miracle cures' for everything from slight fatigue to jungle rot. Gullibility is a human problem, not an exclusively theistic one. If you haven't done so, I suggest reading 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds'. 175 years on, it's still an exemplary look at why people believe in the unrealistic.
