I consider them more likely to demand physical proof before they accept something as true. That can be good in some instances, but it can also hold them back from discovering spiritual truths.
Another nonsensical post. "hold them back from discovering spiritual truths" - I mean wow, "spiritual truths" wtf is that? And why would theists be in advantage? What would be a "spiritual truth"? - perhaps that Ganesha is real God and all other gods are fakes? Or that your thetan levels are low?
And what if the "spiritual truth" is that there are no Gods and no spirituality? Then atheists are in advantage.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
