The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life released their latest findings, the implications of which you may have seen discussed this week. This is an American study, and typically Canada is ahead of the US when it comes to these numbers, but the recent trends we've all talked about are continuing.

This was alluded to on another thread.

Are atheists spiritual?

Or do only religious groups tap into the spirit?

If you think they are spiritual, then, spirituality has nothing to do with God and religion?

Just wondering what you think.

Everybody is in need of spiritual help in their lives. Some of us call out, " help, us God" others I presume call out to Allah etc.

Who do Atheists call out to in their time of need ?  To other Atheists?: To themselves? Or do they never need to call out to anyone or any thing?

Any thoughts?

I can't claim to be an expert in either atheism or postmodernism, but what I'm hearing from most of the atheists who have visited this board recently (welcome!) is the demand for "evidence" and "proof" and a dependance on scientific reasoning for the existence of God, etc. All of this strikes me as counter to what we are learning from postmodernism about the multiplicity of truths, the difference that one's perspective makes to how one experiences truth, the dissolution of dogmatic views, etc.
