That's in America where everyone is an asshole
51 percent of doctors in salt lake city believe in God
Everyone else is normal
"According to the poll, just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power; specifically, 33% of scientists say they believe in God"

Salt Lake City?
Atheism isn't normal, you essentially believe the world was created by a random bang and that life is meaningless. That's not normal, rational or healthy for living a life.
No wonder you appear mentally unstable a lot of the time.
Your claim that 3% of Dr's believe in God is absolute nonesense.
Outside the world of nature, science has no authority, no statements to make, no business whatsoever taking one position or another. Science has nothing decisive to say about values, whether economic, aesthetic or moral; nothing to say about the meaning of life or its purpose.
Religion on the other hand does have something to say about these matters, your suggestion that science is incompatible with religion is pure bollocks.
Yes there have been many religions but they all believe in a creator, which seems deeply embedded into our DNA.
Atheism isn't normal, clever or correct. It's irrational.
So you believe that God created the earth for humankind but you're not happy about sharing the bit you happened to be born in with people of a different colour to you? What do you think God's take on that attitude would be then?
As I have stated before, science means knowledge, pure and simple. It's a search to find out what is true.
Knowledge has no bias nor any statement to make and as out knowledge improves so does our best stab at understanding the universe and what's in it.
Religion is heaving with fanciful recycled myths and unsubstantiated absurdities.
As for atheism not being "normal, clever or correct" that's quite hilarious when set against religious stories.
Humanism can offer all of that without the supernatural.
A recent study finds that people who regularly attend religious services live approximately four years longer than average. Researchers built the study from previous data suggesting that social interaction, volunteer work, and healthy habits can lead to a longer life.
I think that feeling part of a community helps one's mental state enormously - and it could very well be that believing in a deity does help one similarly.

A recent survey ......showed that if a load of Christians prayed en masse for someone in hospital it made absolutely no difference at all
People all over the world take part in socialising , healthy habits etc without the need to go to a church
You daft sod
Nonesense. Humanism doesn't explain why we are here or concern itself with a creator.
Oh **** off you sniping midwit. You offer literally nothing. I'd hate to be you.
It was a fair question, answer it
After that,are you happy with your life.
That's not very Christian of you.
It would be bizarre for Humanists to concern themselves with a creator. Your post was about values - religion doesn’t speak exclusively about that and the supernatural isn’t a prerequisite to live a good and meaningful live.
You keep pre occupying yourself with the veracity of allegorical "myths"..... I don't mean this question as a criticism, it's certainly not a criticism but are you on the autistic spectrum? This may explain why you're a tad stuck on whether a myth is true or merely allegorical.
Atheist believe live occurred from a random bang and life is essentially meaningless. That's irrational and short sighted. You aren't the reasonable one in this discussion.
Thanks for the question about my mental health and for moving the debate to what my lay-preacher friend refers to as the 'pick and mix' fraternity. He is a fundamentalist and and once one concedes that part of a religion is allegory it's a very rocky path. He has left several congregations because they draw the line at allegory in different places and modern-day Archbishops and Popes pick and mix in different places similarly. If part of a religion is conceded as allegory, who is to say what isn't allegory and myth?
However, it's clear that you aren't someone who can debate things in a civilised manner and that you engage in unneccesary ad hominem remarks (such as referring to my mental state) so I won't bother engaging with you. May your God bless you.
But totally rational that you’re invisible friend in the sky did it? Haha
Humanism assumes people are instrinsically good and will choose positive paths for their lives. A mistake.
Also, if humanism doesn't concern itself with a creator why bother setting it against religion, there's there's no competition.
Humanism assumes you can choose to live a good and meaningful life without having to insert the supernatural, out of fear, conceit, or for a longer life, an afterlife or some other reward.
I don’t like the term atheism for that very reason. I referred to Humanism.
Well, using the laws of science, you can NOT create something from nothing. It's a scientific impossibility. Your belief is irrational. Is this fresh news to you?
Who created God?
So who created god? And what the hell was he doing before he thought, “I’ll create earth and make people suffer for a laugh”
