Where as most atheists (and non-atheists) conflate materialism and science, I see religion and materialism as BOTH being non-scientific worldviews.
Before I post my website which is composed of a number of talks where I explain my understanding that the materialist worldview is wrong (which I will do when I reach my quota of 30 posts!) I'd like to ask materialists to explain if and why they believe materialism is either necessary to atheism, or at least an important aspect of the view.
The standard model is all we have. Anything that doesn't tie back into that has "unknown" for its start. Yeah, philosophers get to make shit up but in the end its just made up shit. just one pile of bullshit thrown at pile of horse shit.
