Umm, actually the mind/body dichotomy is far from resolved.Nor indeed is there any consensus on the very nature of consciousness.. Eg there is no empirical basis for Freud's 'ego,id,superego',yet the majority of psychiatrists in Australia remain Freudians.
It just seems exceedingly strange that someone could believe in an ethereal mind and yet deny a God or Goddess. For me, there's only the material. Any claim that anything intangible exists is a pretty heavy claim towards deism.
