Why do some Atheists change?
#3
RE: Why do some Atheists change?
People change for any number of reasons. Deism and atheist don't really differ by all that much. One posits that there is an unknowable aspect of the universe that exists outside of it that might be best described as "the first cause" or "the prime mover." The other posits that there is no evidence for it and they don't believe it.

Doesn't really mean that has to be a god though or even a consciousness at all. Just that initial push...

World would be a better place if more theists would consider deism.
