  6. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Nothing is so pleasing to these gods as the butchery of unbelievers. Nothing so enrages them, even now, as to have some one deny their existence.

  10. A quotation from Orwell

    The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent. Each of them tacitly claims that “the truth” has already been revealed, and that the heretic, if he is not simply a fool, is secretly aware of “the truth” and merely resists it out of selfish motives.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1946-01), “The Prevention of Literature,” Polemic Magazine

  21. In the #Religiosity and #Thinking session, I'm sharing different aspects of the new #data I presented Wednesday (at #AtheismExplained, see top post in thread):

    In addition to the aforementioned findings, we found that #spirituality correlated with #reflection test performance LESS reliably than #religiosity (and #apostasy) did: nerdculture.de/@ByrdNick/11268

    On Wednesday, I posted 2 of the other 3 talks in today's session (Omid's and Nori's). So below I'll post only about the new one by Meara Geraty.

  31. I'm grateful to present new results at some #religion #conferences this week.

    In "Analytic #Atheism & Analytic #Apostasy Across Cultures" (doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/qrz9g). In studies of more than 70k people from around the world, we
    (a) replicated "analytic atheism" across cultures
    (b) found signs of a new result: "analytic apostasy"
    (c) failed to detect "analytic conversion" or reliable correlations between reflection and *spirituality*

    Now I'll post about other talks and posters I can visit 👇

  41. Per #TheNewYorker

    Are We #Sleepwalking Into #Dictatorship?

    Liz #Cheney, the former congresswoman from Wyoming
    and an ardent #conservative, is an #apostate for modern times. In a political party that has evolved into a personality #cult, her #apostasy resides in her #refusaltoworship its leader and in her defense of the #Constitution.

    For such impudence, she was #banished and #votedout of Congress.
