Is Atheism a Delusion?

Join us at: http://www.inspiringphilosophy.org To help support this ministry click here: https://www.patreon.com/inspiringphilosophy?ty=h So I hear from atheists all the time that religion is a delusion, but they never show evidence it is true. They just assume it is true without evidence. So I did a video to address this and show religion is perfectly consistent with normal brain functions and not a delusion. However, in my research I found that atheism appears to be abnormal for normal brain development. This video explains why.
