I mean they’re being asked to vocally challenge God (whether a fictional being or not) to do horrible things to them and their loved ones, and that alone is upsetting enough to even think about. That doesn’t exactly prove they believe in God, and the article even says so. The title is just kind of misleading The atheists, like the Christians, were more bothered(sweated more) when invoking God to do horrible things than when instead just wishing something horrible would happen. That’s the interesting finding. As the article says if the subjects asked something completely made up like say “Golden Magic Squirrel” would they still sweat at the prospect? I doubt it. There's a big caveat you're missing, people actually DO horrible things in the name of God, the concept of God still has a certain societal stigma even to nonbelievers, so of course they're going to be more bothered by it as opposed to a "Golden Magical Squirrel". I could easily reverse that on to you, you obviously don't believe in Islam, but you would be far more bothered if someone said they're going to start a holy war in the name of Allah as opposed to starting a holy war in the name of leprechauns. |
