My test was whether my gods-related beliefs would get me flamed on r/atheism. I don’t think my beliefs would pass the ideological turing test for atheism.
I used to think the god hypothesis was not just wrong, but incoherent. How could there be a being above and outside physics? How could god break the laws of physics? Of course now I take the simulation argument much more seriously, and even superintelligences within the universe can probably do pretty neat things.
I still think non-reductionism is incoherent; “a level above ours” makes sense, “supernatural” does not.
This isn’t really a major update, though. I’m just not going to refer to myself as an atheist any more, because my beliefs permit a lot more.
In that sense, then, I’m an atheist.
