    Your mind is physical.

    It's called neurophysiology and it allows regions of a living brain to communicate with other regions, or to generate signals which propagate along neurons and eventually cause muscles to contract. You'll need to be a graduate student with the necessary prerequisites already under your belt, before you're ready to understand the physiological details of the very complex electrochemical process.

    REALITY!

    The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!

    Atheism is not a conscious decision or a belief but a realization, those that cannot escape remain prisoners of their conditioning!

    Of course since you are obviously a prisoner of your indoctrination you cannot have any concept of free will and certainly could not exercise it!

    Right, so there's nothing physical about the workings of the 9brain (mind). Gee that's a tough one.
