I had a conversation recently about, “Why do some people become atheists?” Here are my thoughts. An atheist’s core belief is to dismiss the idea that there is a higher power, soul or spirit. I’ve seen this first-hand in some of my biology courses in college, where my professor asked the classroom, “Show me where the soul is located in this human body.” In the atheist’s world, everything must be “observed real” in our world for everything to be true. There is nothing else beyond what can be seen or heard or smelled or tasted or touched.
 
Atheists have come to conclusions about the universe based on observations. Usually, overthinking is why this mistake has occurred (I will lay out why this is a mistake below). From my experience, the atheist has shut down, a section of heart space and gone “very analytical” in their outlook on life. The heart space and the mind space are quite different from each other, both in frequency and in electromagnetic field strength. As most people are aware, the heart space is traditionally thought of as being “spiritual.” How feelings come into us, where they manifest from, to begin with, and how they get integrated to become emotions is still a mystery to scientists, but atheists have attributed all of it to brain activity and motor function. They will rarely have a conversation about the heart space. At the root of atheism is a mechanistic, cherry-picked approach to life, taking on a belief structure that there is no room for vitalism, dismissing the spirit as hooey.
 
Frequency, light and quantum behaviors are where the rubber meets the road. When we ask an atheist to define light and frequency as part of our observational world, they have to rely on what science says. But there are many new aspects of science we are continually learning about concerning electromagnetism, light behaviors and quantum mechanics.
 
Agnosticism acknowledges “I just don’t know, so my belief about the spirit or soul is unknown.” Atheism though, having observed people that go out of their way to deny and dismiss any soul or spirit (from my own observations over my life, having had conversations at Ivy League universities) usually cherry-pick specific parts of science or concepts like Occom’s razor to fuel their belief structure and hubris that “there is nothing beyond what we observe.”
 
This is the slippery slope of the atheists and they continually find themselves in defensive patterning as to why they dismiss the concept of the spirit, soul and a higher power. It’s why they quote science to support their claims, even though science itself is fully created from the Scientific Method, which is not fact. Science itself is designed to change and adjust to a “more likely conclusion”, not the “ultimate authority on the universe and 100% perfect.” Science is not static–the moment science becomes immobile, stuck and unchangeable, science immediately dies because it becomes belief (or religion).
 
When confronting an atheist about these basic facts about their own beliefs, atheists will have only two courses of action: confront the challenge and have an ego death over it and attempt to be open-minded to confront the problem, or blame others, blame the belief’s others as inferior (usually condescension) and/or run away from the challenge to maintain the atheistic belief structure.
 
From my own experiences, the easiest question to ask an atheist is if, “other frequencies exist beyond those in the hearing and sight range” due to one’s sensory capabilities. After all, if no one had a frequency meter to measure any other frequencies beyond our perceived sight and hearing, then all of the other frequencies should not exist to an atheist. Anyone who has learned any basic science knows there is an ElectroMagnetic Spectrum and our eyes see a mere sliver of the EM Spectrum in roughly the 400nm to 700nm range (ROYGBIV=red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Certain bugs can see a lower nanometer part of the spectrum into the ultraviolet due to their smaller eyes (below the 400nm range), and other critters like lions with larger eyes can see into the infrared (700nm+) part of the spectrum a bit, as to why they have night-vision. To humans, we know this now, but if we were to use our own senses to project upon the bugs and panthers, we would be flat-out wrong, would we not?
 
Without the invention of sensory tools that extend our own senses, such as frequency detectors to understand the EM Spectrum, if you dropped an atheist into the 1700s, the belief structure wouldn’t allow for measuring the 60 hertz frequency on the electric grid, the kilohertz frequency from AM radio, the megahertz frequency of FM radio, the gigahertz frequency of wifi and Bluetooth, and the higher frequencies UV light, gamma rays and cosmic rays. All of these frequencies require some type of frequency detector to know they exist.
 
Without frequency detectors, atheists need to take “on faith” all of these frequencies exist. Without having sensory extenders and tools to enhance our own senses, things could not be tested, and therefore, an atheist’s conclusion is, “It doesn’t exist.” Herein is their belief system exposed authentically and raw to show their mistake: If we do not have a means of detecting or sensing something, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Saying something doesn’t exist because we cannot observe it is a mistake. Saying we cannot feel something or detect something doesn’t make it automatically illusionary. This is why taking things, “On Faith” still exists today from the beginning of time.
 
Ironically, the atheist takes “on faith” that the soul and spirit do not exist. It shows how atheism is also a belief structure and the atheist’s god loves to dismiss and turn away from real challenges to their belief structure about how science itself is built on theories and those theories change over time, how humans have limited sensory capabilities as humans and how the tools we have to extend our senses may never be enough to detect things outside of our sensory capabilities. Keep in mind that atheists run around with and typically have social groups with other atheists. Atheism, in its irony, is another form of “organized religion” but in the mind-sense, which is the very last thing any atheist wants to hear because often many atheists became atheists for a dislike or hatred of organized religion.
 
In the end, it’s important to be respectful of anyone’s beliefs; we must attempt to put our humanity first, else it’s a competition of something vs. something and that’s how all war begins. Cooperation is core to solving the problems with our various beliefs, because beliefs can shape a person’s life… but so can virtues. Imagine if we upheld our virtues as much as our beliefs… think of the perspective humanity could gain if we put more power into truth, freedom, respect, cooperation, authenticity, integrity, beauty and love.
 
People shut down talking about all of this because they see flaws in the belief structures of others as well as their own…, they put the chains onto their own arms and limit themselves, so having respect at the core is essential to provide others with different outlooks. Sadly, what I am finding in the 2020s versus the 1980s is that it’s extremely hard to have honest and direct conversations about these very things with others, without triggering others to crazy-town. Many political groups have hijacked minds into social clubs to make people “feel bad or excluded” by social control to have open and truthful conversations.
 
Many groups use belief structures to control individuals rather than letting them have their free will to make their own individual decisions; because an individual with his or her power might become too much of a threat to the group-think. The control happens through social interactions and friendships, peer-pressure, exclusion and self-worth-lowering techniques.
 
Watch out for gaslighting, narcissism and coercion. An individual with enough freedom and self-control to remain calm when belief structure is challenged is a powerful force of will and beauty. Otherwise, if a person has a seeded fear about his or her beliefs due to the lack of confidence about it, the defensive state shows up to defend their group and what might happen if that security blanket went away… knowing if they fail with the group’s mission, that individual may fallout from the group and a whole new way of being will have to emerge.
 
Emotional intelligence is the ultimate test to know if the core virtues of truth and respect are upheld, or thrown away when any belief is challenged.
