the #1 godless campus

Lewis and Clark student body consists of a striking majority of non-religious students. Liberalism and atheism seems to be progressively very closely associated amongst one another. Some college poles have even rated us as the #1 Godless campus. Is not believing in God a popular belief or is it something that each student passionately believes and as disvovered through their own unique path. This caused me to wonder what makes people believe in God. One interesting hypthosesis to entertain is that there are physical elements in the body that might cause some people to be more prone to believe in God than others. It seems to be evolutionary beneficial. The majority of human beings believe in some manifestation of the supernatural, this suggests that we might have a similar gene which has continued to be passed on for generations. Ever sense there is written documentation proving human existence there has been reference to the supernatural. It suggests that this is perhaps a survival trait, and is consistent with Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest. A common belief is that the faith in God might call for less cognitive effort than the disbelief in God.
