reply re: atheists
While most atheists certainly believe in evolution as the article states, it seems unlikely that most also contribute 90% edits about evolution. That only leaves 10% for other liberal atheist issues like promoting abortion, etc. [[User:Sulli|Sulli]] 13:22, 27 December 2008 (EST)

:I would argue that ''all'' atheists necessarily believe in evolution. Consider: An atheist necessarily accepts a materialist worldview, and that conscious being(s) have not always existed (since if a conscious being had always existed, well, there's God right there). Therefore, an atheist necessarily believes that the universe went from having no consciousness to having us, and the process by which this mysteriously happens is called evolution. Maybe we should change this to "all" in the article? [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 19:29, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

::Some atheists have wacky theories about aliens or some other source of life on earth. Also, not all atheists suffer from [[evolution syndrome]] itself, though most probably do.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:58, 13 July 2009 (EDT)
