It isn’t so much pro-atheism as it is a secular exploration as to why we behave the way we do. For example, he was one of the first enlightenment scholars to reject the idea of a distinct soul as an animating, driving force for such things as moral behaviour and a sense of ‘self’, arguing instead that individuals are the sum total of their experiences.
