Supernatural and Atheism

[Belacqua]

Atheists like to stick to science except when it's convenient not to.

We could make a long list of non-scientific beliefs that atheists on this forum strongly believe. Not the same for every person, but there's a lot.

For example, LinuxGirl believes the Bible would be better if it had science in it. This cannot be proved by science; it's a value judgment concerning literary hermeneutics.

Lots of people think that science is the best or only way to know about the natural world. This cannot be proved by science; it's a belief concerning metaphysics. (And I'm not saying it's wrong, only that it's not itself science.)

Lots of people want religion out of politics, which is not something that science can prove. It's a belief about what kind of government is best. 

These are the ones that come to mind first, but there are lots of others. 

So atheists stick to their non-scientific beliefs just like anybody else.
