Biology doesn’t really change that fast, Walter. We we will— unless specific evolution occurs— be wired for mystical thinking. It’s what allows creative thinking. It’s what allows the writers of LOST to come up with their stories.
I think the book Spook by Mary Roach goes into it in some detail in one of the chapters.
And remember that not hiring someone because of their religion— or lack thereof— is illegal.
I’m a writer and an atheist. Belief and the ability to be creative is not necessarily the same. You don’t have to have both to be a solid creative writer, fiction, science fiction or otherwise.
