At the 2013 The Amazing Meeting, Coyne gave a talk entitled ''Faith is Not a Virtue'' which focused on the supposed incompatibility of science and religion, despite the fact that studies show that the irreligious engage in more superstitious thinking and the significant contributions that [[Christianity]] has made to science (see: [[Irreligion and superstition]] and [[Christianity and science]]).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUJMzGrPX7M Faith is Not a Virtue - Jerry Coyne TAM 2013] - video</ref>  In addition, in his talk Coyne also avoided the large body of historical and other social science data regarding the immoral actions of the atheist population (see: [[Moral failures of the atheist population]] and [[Atheism and Mass Murder|Atheism and mass murder]] and [[Atheism and morality]]). Furthermore, Coyne says in his talk that there being various sects of Christianity is supposed proof that Christianity is false, despite the fact that there are many [[schools of atheist thought]] which frequently quarrel with each other  (see: [[Atheist factions]]) and that atheists/[[agnosticism|agnostics]] frequently argue about the [[definition of atheism]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUJMzGrPX7M Faith is Not a Virtue - Jerry Coyne TAM 2013] - video</ref>
