Over Scientists Free From Religion

This publication is dedicated to scientists and thinkers exploring the frontiers where science and religion intersect—and sometimes clash. Here, we dive into what science can explain, question, and support in areas traditionally dominated by religious beliefs. Our content highlights evidence-based perspectives on origins, morality, and existence, encouraging a rational, secular approach to understanding the natural world. We focus on how scientific discoveries and methods challenge, redefine, or refute common religious narratives. Whether you're a scientist without religious affiliation or a curious mind interested in objective inquiry, this is a space for rigorous analysis and thoughtful discussion.

The piece compares the development of religious belief to the persistence of belief in figures like the bogeyman, suggesting that religion represents a cultural and social endorsement of these fundamental cognitive tendencies, in contrast to philosophical Buddhism which resists this agent-based bias. The author concludes that theism is a culturally installed “module” rather than an inherent aspect of human nature, making atheism the more rational starting point.
