I heard a lot of Atheists that are againts superstition.
Well, I'm from Asia and some of the natives here believe that they should not cut down trees because the soul of their ancestors are in these trees. So, would Atheists stand againts them for trying to save the enviroment, or is it better for them to modernize?
Before you pointing out "How do you build stuff with no wood?", I'm just gonna say it's just a couple of big trees and certain type of trees.
Prayer and positive thinking have been known to cure many people. It's just like placebo.
You shouldn't get into the jungle at night, there are spirits in them woods. Or maybe spirits is just old people language for tigers and elephants.
Anyways, in theory here that behind every superstition that we believe, there's a damn good reason why we should follow. But, over time these reasons are forgotten by everyone.
So, will the Atheists stop the natives from saving the trees? ;)
