Should this be non-religious instead of atheistic? When we say atheistic we mist often assume someone who is opposed to the idea of all religions, not just somebody who doesn't let it interfere with his work.
- humanrebar 10y agoI also prefer to consider science as agnostic since it chooses to focus its efforts on physical things like matter and energy. And I believe that was done in the effort to find common ground to reason from. It's a broader form of "assume all cows are spherical" so we can understand the world better.
- nitrogen 10y agoI don't think it's so much to find common ground. I think it's because it works. AIUI scientists have studied the metaphysical (miracles, remote viewing, psychics, ESP, telekinesis, out of body experiences, etc.) and found no evidence any of them exist beyond the obvious physical explanations.
