PZ Myers' dreamt about dying and standing before the pearly gates of heaven
Today, the atheist/agnostic community is largely skeptical of the cryonics movement. For example, in 2001, the atheist/agnostic [[Michael Shermer]] said of cryonics, "Is it? That depends on how much time, effort and money ($120,000 for a full-body freeze or $50,000 for just the head) you are willing to invest for odds of success only slightly higher than zero... I want to believe the cryonicists. Really I do. I gave up on religion in college, but I often slip back into my former evangelical fervor, now directed toward the wonders of science and nature."<ref>[http://www.michaelshermer.com/2001/09/nano-nonsense-and-cryonics/ Nano Nonsense & Cryonics], Michael Shermer, published September 2001</ref>

On October 22, 2014, the atheist [[PZ Myers]] bolstered the case that atheists have an unconscious belief that God exists. Myers wrote in a [[Pharyngula (blog)]Pharyngula]] blog post: "I woke up from a dream a little too early this morning. I dreamt that I had died and gone to a cliché. That’s right, I was standing before the Pearly Gates…"<ref>[http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/10/22/just-another-dream/ Just another dream]<ref> by [[PZ Myers]], October 22, 2014</ref>
There have been no reports of [[theology|theologians]] or [[creation science|creation scientists]] having dreams that atheism is true.
