Re: POLL---Who is more Reasonable
"I'm not saying that atheists as a group are more predjudiced, but it seems to me, that this poll does show that a bigger percentage of believers than non-believers are willing to presume that their position is "reasonable" while their opponents' is "UNreasonable." I think that's a modest claim, and I think it's held up by lots of anecdotal evidence in the many discussions around this board."
Of course you are right. But it could not be otherwise. Reason being that almost all non believers disbelieve BECAUSE they think believing is unreasonable. Believers on the other hand do not believe primarily because they think disbelief is unreasonable. The fact that religious people are more willing to admit that disbelief is not unreasonable merely shows that even they realize that their beliefs are on shaky grounds.
