Thoughts On Atheism and Faith

[henryp]

It's not that surprising to me that atheists agree in general more than theists. Once you take arbitrary divine commandments out of the picture and work together to look at reality, you can come to sensible agreements.

Widespread atheism, as far as I know, is still pretty new.  Give us some time, and we'll be all over the map.  First generation atheists made the leap from God to no God.  And that's a big leap, but we are still in that argument just on the other side.  When we have millions of people growing up without a God, and analyzing the world without ever bothering with the idea of God, I think it'll branch out a lot more.

But on here, for example, you can see a lot of people are still hung up on God vs. No God, and haven't moved on to what's next.
