== Atheists and cancer ==
According to the National Cancer Institute:
{{Cquote|Cancer is a genetic disease—that is, cancer is caused by certain changes to genes that control the way our cells function, especially how they grow and divide....
Inherited genetic mutations play a major role in about 5 to 10 percent of all cancers. Researchers have associated mutations in specific genes with more than 50 hereditary cancer syndromes, which are disorders that may predispose individuals to developing certain cancers.<ref>[https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/genetics The Genetics of Cancer],
