Why Are Geeks Often Atheist?

‘Geek’ brings to mind a long list of traits- Glasses, obsession with science, a high IQ. Recently, however, a new trait has come to light to add to the long, esteemed list: Atheism. Despite being widely known, there has been very little in the way of explanation proposed for this phenomena. It is the purpose of this article to address this deficiency.

I am not an atheist, but it’s an interesting read that offers a few possible reasons, such as, “It might make sense to think that many such geeks simply find something as simple as a creator an overly simplistic explanation for something so elegant.”

These geeks should just be happy they don’t have to deal with life’s source code.
