Okay. FWIW, I think his argument has much validity. Whether believer or non-believer, I think it is highly likely that one's position is reflective of deep psychological underpinnings, worthy of study.

My own "theory" about atheists would have more to do with ego-worship (and consequently denial of a higher power), which I suppose makes it Freudian also. I haven't thought much about believers, but I'm sure there are others who have, and who have proposed theories.
