Reddit reviews The Atheist Afterlife: The odds of an afterlife - Reasonable. The odds of meeting God there - Nil

The simple answer is because religion is not necessarily 'reasonable'. Yes, it may be reasonable in the eyes of the person of a certain religion, but that is personal reason, rationalizations for ones own ease of mind.

At the end of it though, at some point of that religion you will be faced with 'reason', or what is masked as it. If you believe in a religion then it is fairly reasonable to assume you would concede that there are some things of the religion that you cannot physically show me, I mean that's why it's called faith isn't it? You simply choose to believe in it.

I agree that it isn't very... adequate, to outright label religion as illogical or without reason, that fact depends on the type of faith the individual himself holds (that is to say any faith, including atheism)(after all, to label an entire act as reasonable or not is a generalisation, for both theism and atheism, which is in itself not reasonable). But it is also sensible to say that atheism is largely comprised of a 'logical' (relative to physical practice) method and setting to it which has led to such an entitlement.

If we were talking philosophically, then yeah you're absolutely right, mostly because now all knowledge is 'liquid' and nothing is 'certain' (relative to the person) because everything is now infinitely subjective.

But in the strictness of looking through what we can physically define, there is no doubting that religion has a blank spot in it which you can never know, yet you choose to believe.

Sidenote: The Atheist Afterlife. As far as I know atheism doesn't have (nor has it ever had) a problem with the afterlife reasonably, because, as you said, there is no proof for either argument, therefore so far both sides are possible. Atheisms issue is the existence of 'heaven' and 'hell' and the entire judgement argument in such an afterlife.

Perhaps, but note that this interpretation may lead to dualism of minds, since if minds were physical, then they would just be part of a larger wavefunction and there would be no collapse.

So if God doesn't exist, but immaterial minds do, then...The Atheist Afterlife...?

Haven't read it. Looks interesting, though.

See David Staume's book, The Atheist Afterlife. He wrote all about how the afterlife is related to dreams and how we make our afterlife what we want it to be. It sounds like a whole lot of bunk to me, but it sounds like what you are talking about.

Yes, actually there is a pretty cool book on this
