Since a little philosophy inclines man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy brings men's minds?

about to religion, is it not a shame that our atheist community members did not complete their education?

Back to school guys and gals.

    Their tiny minds are not capable of grasping deeper learning.

    Here's a question: do you consider your question indicative of deep thought?

    To answer your question, well, I was always a poor player of 6 Degrees to Francis Bacon. I always play too laterally. Good luck getting an answer!

    Pure semantics on your part. As vicious as it is untrue.

    Typical of superstition despising reason.

    Proves atheism true by default. So, thank you for that at least.

    I'd suggest to you that some of the greatest philosophers the world has known have been atheist, agnostic or believed in a conception of God that you would most likely find abhorrent.

    Back to school for you champ - read what people actually wrote, not someone's attempt to convince you that religion is the way.

    That's false. I have a degree in philosophy and I can tell you that the vast majority of professional philosophers do not believe in a personal god. In fact, a recent philpapers survey showed that 77% don't believe in such a god, and my guess is that a large portion of the 23% is made up of philosophers working for religiously-affiliated institutions.

    Philosophy requires logic, and logic often shows a god like Yahweh to be extremely unlikely.

    Professing to be wise, they became fools in the eyesight of God

    There is no one who seeks God

    there is no one who understands.

    There is no one who believes

    We could all be better off with a little less Bacon.

    All thinking men are atheists. — Ernest Hemingway

    Faith means not wanting to know what is true. — Friedrich Nietzsche

    Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon

    The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church. — Ferdinand Magellan

    Not only is there no god, but try getting a plumber on weekends. — Woody Allen

    It’s an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don’t try to make it posthumous. — Gloria Steinem

    A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows. — Samuel Clemens

    The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. — George Bernard Shaw

    Creationists make it sound like a ‘theory’ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night — Isaac Asimov

    You do realize that quote comes from a time-period before the theory of evolution, where life was thought to consist of a magical pulsating gel that was clear evidence for gods?

    At the time natural theology which explained life as obviously of divine origin probably did incline men's minds to religion. The situation is not the same today because we've since then discovered that life isn't quite what people used to think.
