If Drich is saying all atheists have faith on this subject, he is most certainly over-generalizing. I used to believe in the brain-as-a-receiver-of-consciousness idea when I was studying mysticism, but a closer study of the science changed my mind on the topic. I was especially influenced by sleep and dream researcher Dr. Allan Hobson's many books about how the chemistry of conscious states influences their perceived content. The brain-as-receiver idea is entirely uneconomical and unnecessary, given what we now know from brain and consciousness studies.
