Skepticism and Atheism

Yau-man Chan

June 19, 2016

Yau-man Chan is a long time skeptic and atheist. After recently becoming formally involved with the Skeptic Movement he learned that many skeptics are believers/religious and many atheists are not skeptics. He was surprised to meet atheists who subscribe to all sorts of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. In this talk he will try to engage fellow non-believers to explore why there is not more of an overlap. Why aren’t skeptics naturally also atheists and why do some atheists manage to hold on to many superstitious and non-reality based ideas when they have rejected religion.
