The superficial or snarky atheist comments I run across tend to be of the “blasphemy is the new potty mouth” schools, like five-year-olds or lame comedians.

So, given that this is true, what would we predict in the future? Are people who self-identify as more firmly atheist more likely to convert to Catholicism soon than deists? How about childhood – since people raised in a Catholic family are more exposed to it, do they disproportionately become self-identified firmly atheist?

— the underground head quarters of the illuminati?
— the discovery of life on Mars?

Science, religion, current events — people are always willing to pretend they know more or care more than they actually do. Language is often about social signaling instead of content sharing.

Humans are such an evolutionary dead-end!
