      But your mistake is, you don't realize that the same is true of both sides. One can make an identical case for atheism.

      Is it possible to do neither god-beliefs nor atheism?

      I'm thinking you must think of atheism as something fairly complex if you think there's a psychology of it.

      oh there certainly is, if the research on atheism so far is correct.

      What is it? How does it define atheism in a way that has traits or values or behaviours that are psychological?

      I read an intriguing paper once about atheist anger towards God. Certainly unusual.

      That would seem paradoxical, yes. So an atheist is defined by anger towards god or the idea of god?

      No. But the psychology of atheism might well have to talk about the unique negative emotional clusters motivating atheism.

      But what motivates it? You still havent defined it. My husband simply not raised with any religion & not interested.

          This might be hard to understand if you live in a culture where god-belief is common & feels natural.

          But not all cultures have the notion of God as part of the cultural furniture.

          that's fine. Not all of them believe in a round earth either. Lots of things can be culturally suppressed.

          You seem to think the god idea is universally & eternally relevant. Mightn't it just die out in some cultures as ideas do?

          it might. But they doesn't make it true or false. And it doesn't make God belief good or bad. It's irrelevant.

          Exactly. That's what I mean. No values to it so how can there be psychology to it?

          This is what post-theistic societies are like. The idea is irrelevant. It cld become relevant again later if eg immigration

          or if suppression of theistic intuitions and questions somehow fails
