I'm must confess I'm a little jealous. It's a horribly simplistic view which you have shown to not be true merely from the fact you typed a response. If we just are what we are how did you get the knowledge of how to use a computer to type a sentence? We are a lot of things. Some of which is what we learn through observation, experience, socialization, perspective, geography, etc. An additional one of those things that the royal "we" are based on is what we believe to be true. You and I both would agree that grass is green and poop stinks. Viola shared perspective. The perspective of the scientists do not always share a belief in a God, hence the purpose of the survey. That is just one of trillions of belief that make up themselves. My point was that how well you do your job as a scientist has 0 direct correlation to whether or not you believe in a sky daddy.
The fact is religious views DO inform part of who someone is, and using basic math if you're made up of 1 million beliefs and you add one more you're now 1 belief deeper than your atheist counterpart. I think your bigotry stems from seeing people only as you want to see them, and classifying them by the parts you don't agree with and them over simplifying that generalization to magnify your own ignorance of their beliefs. Have fun with that. For such an incorrect view of what drives people to be able to inform who a person is, that person must be very little and has scant hope of ever being much more.
It's clear that some of the anti-religion people are just bigots.
They think like bigots, they write like bigots. They get support on this forum for bigoted views.
