<I think the result would be the same as if you could infect humans with a biological agent that killed their belief in the law of gravity. > Gotta disagree there. Atheists aren't compelled to believe in God by fundamental forces. Even the most faithful and sincere believer in God can't show that a non-belief in God affects one's health or produces any physical manifestation. I've discussed this on another thread ... wouldn't one expect sinners to be outlived and have more suffering and disease, on average, than by the devout ? If you were prevented from believing in gravity, you'd still fall off the cliff and go splat... It was just a philosophical "calibration" question. If you don't think you can answer, that's okay. The pill we are trying to sell to radical Islam is just such an "infection".
