Do Philosophy Professors Believe in God?

[Art (Arthur Hunt)]

@Eddie

Ah, Art, the man who asked me for numbers.

Focus, @Eddie, focus. Here is the train of thought you are responding to:

@Eddie

Are you denying my claim that faculty are sometimes hostile to students who do have such traditional beliefs? Not just in philosophy, but in many other departments? Are you denying my claim that the religious ideas of most faculty in arts departments are liberal, agnostic, atheist, and maybe in a few cases “New Age”, but very rarely traditional and conservative? Are you denying my claim that this affects what they teach, how they teach it, how they respond to students with traditional beliefs, who they vote for when they hire new faculty, etc.? Are you denying that many students with traditional beliefs have experienced hostility, mockery, condescension, etc. from profs who don’t share those beliefs?

@Rumraket

If the majority of philosophers were conservative theists, would they be prejudiced against atheists?

@Art

I believe that is where @Eddie’s thesis leads.
