Castle dropped some tags but I found his reply to me:
Can you actually read? This is the point I made about atheists running the world, below:
I am agreeing with you that atheists do not run the world (although many atheists are still in the closet, so there will be plenty in senior positions), my point was that it nothing to do with not having a good imagination. It has to do with the fact that for centuries, non-believers have been persecuted and discriminated against, which still happens today.
I remember one atheist did have a good stab at running the world once, Christians like to beat us over the head with him like he's a stick. His name was Stalin.
As for your other waffle about thinking with hearts, it's a meaningless phrase. All your thinking happens in the mind (relatively little in your case, from what I can determine). I haven't heard of any of the other phrases you listed, but even if they are true, so what? What are you trying to actually get at?

You never heard about women thinking with their hearts and men thinking with their minds, if not how about
Imagination leading science
Or
Spirit leading ego
Or
Courage leading skepticism

Nothing to do with people who don't believe in God being persecuted and often executed for saying things deemed to be heretical, I suppose?
