| | + | Atheists rarely point out that the [[scientific revolution]] was birthed in a Christianized Europe (see: [[Christianity and science]]). Also, given that atheists/evolutionists actively discriminate against creationist and religious conservatives in academia and other places, atheists pointing out a higher prevalence of atheists relative to their numbers belonging to high profile scientific organizations or being awarded various distinctions is disingenuous (see: [[Suppression of alternatives to evolution]] and [[Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed]]).<ref> |

| | + | In addition, there is a significant segment of atheists who engage in the erroneous ideologies/worldviews of [[scientism]], nature worship and neo-paganism so a certain degree of preoccupation/obsession with [[pseudoscience]], [[Naturalism (philosophy)|naturalistic philosophy]] and scientific endeavors is not surprising within some members of the atheist community.<ref>[http://creation.com/atheism#atheism-neopaganism Atheism as nature worship or neo-paganism]</ref> See also: [[Irreligion and superstition]] and [[Evolution as a secular origins myth]] and [[Evolution and Cases of Fraud, Hoaxes and Speculation]] |

| | + | As far as atheists in the scientific community, Vox Day correctly points out that many atheist scientists (and scientists in general) have a poor grasp of logic, statistics, the history/philosophy of science and other matters which often causes them to reach erroneous conclusions and engage in pseudoscience.<ref> |

| | + | At the present time, there is a reluctance of many prominent [[evolution]]ists/atheists/agnostics to debate key points of their errant ideologies (see: [[Creation scientists tend to win the creation vs. evolution debates]] and [[Atheism and cowardice]]). For example, the agnostic [[Richard Dawkins]] has repeatedly refused to debate strong Christian debaters concerning the existence of God and he has repeatedly refused to debate [[creation science|creation scientists]] and [[intelligent design]] theorists (see: [[Instances of Richard Dawkins ducking debates]]). In addition, when atheists/agnostics do debate the issue of the existence of God, they typically do poorly (see: [[Atheism and debate]]). |
