'''Self-projection as God''' (SPAG) is a form of [[atheism|atheist]] [[pseudoscience]] which purports to explain the psychological origins of theistic belief.

Counter-evidence to SPAG includes experiencing God as condemning acts which believers would like to engage in - e.g. a believer might earnestly desire to cheat on their income tax, yet feel that God would disapprove of them doing so - if God was nothing more than a projection of the believer's own beliefs and desires, then the believer would conclude that God approves of tax fraud.

There is no counter-evidence to SPAG. SPAG is [[falsifiable]] - SPAG proponents can point to experiments which would disprove SPAG (e.g. if someone prays to "God" for a real miracle and it happened). A falsifiable idea with lots of evidence, SPAG should be classed as science.

Self-projection as God (SPAG) is a form of atheist science which completely explains the psychological origins of theistic belief. SPAG proves that God is really a projection of the believer's own self, and that hence God endorses whatever the believer themselves happens to endorse. SPAG is also called vicarious autotheism ("autotheism" meaning "having one's own self as one's god"). There is heaps of any scientific evidence to support it.

There is no counter-evidence to SPAG. SPAG is falsifiable - SPAG proponents can point to experiments which would disprove SPAG (e.g. if someone prays to "God" for a real miracle and it happened). A falsifiable idea with lots of evidence, SPAG should be classed as science.
