Unlikely to be programming.  If scientists (or any other group of professionals working in the same area) trust one another at work, it's usually because of knowledge and trustworthy behaviour.

Quote:I think I have now a clear picture on why a person becomes an atheist or theist... It is all about chemicals. Some of them make atheists and many others make the various types of believers.

Incorrect again.  Religion is largely driven by indoctrination in a religious environment.  There is no difference between dopamine in a believer's brain and dopamine in an atheist's brain.

What is true is that many religious leaders deliberately employ psychological manipulation to create emotional states in believers.

Yes, I wasn't referring to the powerless ordinary people (because it doesn't matter what their chemicals are) but to their powerful rich masters instead. Ordinary atheists have political atheist masters (in their various ruling systems). And the ordinary theists have religious masters (heading formal systems which also have their own rules). So, based on the so-called discoveries by some of our dear scientists, only the chemicals in the brains of these masters, theist or atheist, are responsible of creating the various types of groups in the world.
Anyway, I personally didn't need to be a member in any formal group; social, sportive, religious or political. I am just a neutral independent observer who is free to oppose even the preprogrammed instructions (chemicals) embedded in his own body. So, I guess, 'being not of the world' applies on my case Smile
Answering: What is my point?
