Subject: RE: BS: Can all Athiests be lumped together?
There do seem pretty good reasons for thinking that human beings are in fact hard-wired for belief in some kind of God, as evidenced by the virtual universality of this in human cultures at all historical times.

That doesn't in itself mean that it's a correct belief, but it does mean it is a natural beliief. In general people need to believe in God. Whether our bellief is justified is another question.

And of course there are people of whom this general condition is not true. Whether they are the sighted excption in the Kingdom of the Blind, or the other wat round is open to argument. But either way, they are the exception.
