Completely wrong.

Contemporary Philosophy is predominately materialist. This is especially true of contemporary Anglo-American (as opposed to Continental) Philosophy. As it happens, there was a recent poll of philosophers organized by philpapers.org. The most relevant item was this:

Quote:Mind: physicalism or non-physicalism?
Accept or lean toward: physicalism 526 / 931 (56.4%)
Accept or lean toward: non-physicalism 252 / 931 (27%)
Other 153 / 931 (16.4%)
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
Mikhail Bakunin

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything
