To the believers: to what to you attribute the growth in Atheism?

61. The evidence is in your posts

Yes, there are some assumptions. We don't require absolute proof in order to reach some conclusions. But a rational person does require some evidence, and then remains alert for more evidence that either supports or contradicts. In the case of the supernatural, there just isn't any evidence at all that can be observed, recorded, or measured. It is truly a matter of faith.

And that is why I find it so curious that people who believe in the "Holy Ghost" hold each other in such high esteem, whereas they often turn their noses up at people who believe in other things without evidence, such as witchcraft, astrology, miracles, voices from beyond, reincarnation, UFOs etc.

I am an equal opportunity skeptic. I look upon all these irrational belief systems the same way. And if there is ever any evidence that can be observed, measured, recorded, or repeated, I remain open to changing my mind.
