Atheism is not synomous with education. I know they want you to believe that, but most of them don't have a firm grasp on how science and the process of discovery works, nor do they often understand the concept of evidenciary quality.

i'm an avid reader yet i do no longer think I even have study any books written via the gents you suggested. I even have study some articles and that i watched a Dawkins interview as quickly as, I in simple terms can no longer get interior the process the dislike and intolerance to work out if there is any certainty below all of it. My absolute well known atheist is Siddh?rtha Gautama a minimum of he taught love, no longer hate. The Buddha taught non-violence, appreciate for all existence, the ease of giving generously and of an basic existence form, serving for many human beings as a kind of the utmost standards of humane habit. If Dawkins would desire to coach as Buddha did with compassion, humbleness and style......then i might certainly pay attention to what he had to declare. (BTW - i do no longer tell others to study the bible OR to grow to be a Christian....this is for each man or woman to return to a call.)

If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working. - Frank Zappa
I would rather understand the world as it is, than to persist with delusion, no matter how reassuring and comforting it is.

Atheists don't seem to require so much comforting as Christians.

If a textbook is comforting, it's not rigorous enough.

You don't make yourself clear as to when they are holding onto their bible, At death or during life, My bible ius engraved in my heart, therefore If I need to go to work, I don't have to take my bible with me. What I have in my heart will carry me.

As an agnostic I would have to surmise that they at least think so, ( both christians and atheists )

Intellectual honesty and the ability to think freely are very comforting indeed.
I don't know how Christians - who I know from having been one are aware that they're lying to themselves - sleep at night.
Sweet dreams!

You don't need a textbook to not believe in God.
