Atheism/Theism and Pseudoscience

RE: Atheism/Theism and Pseudoscience
(August 12, 2014 at 9:48 am)FatAndFaithless Wrote: I was wondering if you guys have noticed a correlation either way between atheism or theism and pseudoscience? Are theists more likely to believe in pseudoscience because of their religious beliefs, or are they kind of isolated in their own irrational bubble against it? Could also be no correlation at all, seeing as my sample size is pretty limited to my experience, but it would be interesting to explore.

Anecdotally speaking:

Most people I know that were most likely to get into the type of woo you mentioned were all Wiccan. One has since become somewhat of a pantheist.

Most atheists I know aren't really into much of anything supernatural.
