== Argument against atheist mutational load theory ==
A commenter at the [[intelligent design]] blog Uncomment Descent wrote about atheist mutational load theory and Dr. Edward Dutton:
{{Cquote|...he ignores current studies that don’t support him. I looked up several studies in fact there are hundreds of studies that you can easily Google about religiosity and handedness! He ignores all of their results.
His sample size is small and from a very predominantly atheist a country and furthermore he equates atheism to having a mutational load that is the cause for left-handedness this is utterly ridiculous as there been multiple studies that have shown that handedness one way or the other makes you more religious or more extreme in your point of view. Those that were Ambidexterous Actually were the ones that had a tendency to be more atheistic and not only that but there was a correlation between schizophrenia and left-handedness and ambidexterity. These people were more skeptical of God but at the exact same time we’re prone to believe in magic mysticism and ghost.
For the point of people that are autistic, The reason why is they are more attracted to things that are more concrete and there is a high probability that they do not have the facilities to actually think about an abstract concept like God and will not except it. this is been hypothesize for awhile. Furthermore just because the fact that you’re autistic did not guarantee that you would be an atheist.<ref>[https://uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/neuroskeptic-atheists-are-not-genetically-damaged/ Neuroskeptic: Atheists Are NOT Genetically Damaged]</ref>}}
