Religious people believe in something while Atheists don't.

So, the only way you can really know the difference between you and them is to have, even if for a moment,, the same sort of belief that they have and practiced it.

Because as it is now, you have presented yourself as an outsider who is judging things from the outside.

Modified: I have not said that their belief makes them special even if they feel that way.

All humans are religious but few are faithful!

The misconception most people have is the feeling that people claiming they have faith are the only religious ones while people who don't think they have faith are irreligious.

Going by the dictionary meaning of Religion:

"Any practice to which someone or some group is seriously devoted"

Now let's analyse that!

What will happen if we fail to eat food, drink water, have a sleep or wear a cloth?
Can we do without these things? NO!
This are things we do because they are necessary or compulsory so we're not doing them RELIGIOUSLY!

But what about getting married, raising children and sharing moments with loved ones?
Is there a certainty that one will suffer if he/she doesn't engage in these things? NO!
Therefore whoever is strictly adhering to these things is surely RELIGIOUS because nothing will happen if you don't get involved in any of these.

So all humans are religious one way or another, therefore you can't figure out any different between people claiming religious and those claiming atheists.
Where you will find a sharp contrast is when you want to compare a person having FAITH with another without FAITH.
The one with faith will do certain things due to his faith while the faithless will continue to wonder "why must he do that?" But real faith has it's WORKS so the difference between the faithful and the faithless is the result of faith in the midst of believers while the faithless continue living on instinct! smiley

It is not possible to believe in a god and at the same time not believe (play along)

You would need to really believe in a god without any doubt in your mind to have the same sort experience of those that believe.

Once you have that experience, then you can better judge for yourself whether it is enough to make you feel special.

It is true that the scientific community has more atheists than any other group but it doesn't mean they're the majority within that group. It is 59%--41%

Science is neutral. It doesn't support belief or non belief. Anyone can become a scientist.

A person's worldview is not an hindrance to becoming a scientist.

while you stat is correct, In the U.S study conducted among 1000 top science professor shows that 85% of them do not believe in god.
It’s pointer to the fact that the more you do science, the more you disbelieve in the claim of god.

And true, science is neutral but it unintentionally contradicts religion in most cases like cosmology and evolutionary biology.

Studies also shows that more than 90% of top physics professors do not believe in god.

It’s difficult to reach full potential in quantum physics when you still believe stuffs like the Noah’s ark. That’s utterly ridiculous to even an average scientist.

You earlier said most scientist and never specify if they were professors. You don't need to be a scientist or practice more science to become an atheist. When you already believe in a god,( depending what god) an increase in scientific knowledge may result in non belief. That is the pattern. But not in all cases

The unintentionally contradiction has helped some of us , me especially, to have a rethink of what we used to believe. But this doesn't mean that science is actively interested in replacing religion.

Concerning quantum physics and believing in Noah's ark, not every Christian take the story as literal. So those can still be good in quantum physics and excell in it.

But wait. I thought they said that if you think you know quantum physics, then you don't know it. If that is true , then who are those that can excell in it?

And please which of the gods are we talking about

This is what I dunno why some people have a hard time grasping. Always asking atheists questions on science as if we replace religion with science. I was always interested in science before I even became an atheist.

Yea ,some religious people think science is against their god and religion. Some of them have thought that it is the devil that brought science to challenge their god while denying the fact that science has helped them in several ways.
