Each person decides the question of faith for himself personally, since it depends solely on him whether to believe in the existence of God or to deny it, based on one or another reflection. And if it’s quite difficult to understand the motives of believers, then the position of atheists is much easier to comprehend.
Reason versus Faith
In fact, people who deny the existence of God can be divided into two groups. The first includes individuals with critical thinking, which require compelling evidence of a higher spiritual principle. As a rule, such people have a sufficiently developed intellect, which makes them skeptical of religious rhetoric.
Since in modern conditions there is no way to prove scientifically that God exists, skeptics make a logically correct conclusion about the absence of a higher being who governs human life. Atheists perceive the manifestations of "divine power" that the official church calls "miracles" either as a confluence of circumstances, or as unexplored natural phenomena, or as fraud and manipulation of facts.
It is widely believed that faith is a conscious rejection of knowledge and attempts to prove or disprove a statement by a scientific method. Scientists from two American universities argue that atheists have always had slightly higher IQs than believers. This is due to the fact that the more a person is inclined to comprehend reality, the less he has the opportunity for faith.
