Thinking Men

 

Some caveats...

Atheism, rather like theology, is often enough a response to those areas of existence which are perhaps more inherently impenetrable to thought.

It would not be unreasonable to suggest that where the theologist typically responds by overthinking in this rather opaque space, the atheist is often consciously under-thinking — when not actually engaged in a proper cognitive blocking exercise.

This does not alter the fact that atheists tend to think more lucidly on matters outside the problem area; over-thinking being a closer friend of hallucination than under-thinking.
