List Of Atheist And Agnostic Pseudosciences

From Conservapedia

In the both the physical sciences and social sciences atheism has had a negative effect on science (see: Atheism and science).

Some of the most notable examples of atheistic/agnostic pseudosciences that exist or have existed within the physical science and social science communities are:

Physical sciences[edit]

None of these are actually about religion, atheism, or agnosticism, though people of various religious persuasions, including atheism and agnosticism, often take strong positions on these scientific subjects.

Medical sciences[edit]

See: Atheism and medicine (Traditional Chinese medicine)

Social sciences[edit]

Technology[edit]

Postsecularism and science[edit]

See also: Desecularization

Postsecularism refers to a number of theories concerning the persistence or resurgence of religious beliefs or practices in the present.

The Science Recorder declared in 2015:

Science and religion are often presented as opposing world views, but a recent study in the American Sociological Review published Jan. 29, suggests that for some Americans, this binary construction (i.e. science vs. religion) is a false dichotomy.

Authors Timothy O’Brien, an assistant professor at the University of Evansville and co-author Shiri Noy, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wyoming, call these Americans the “Post-Seculars,” and were surprised to find that one in five Americans belongs to this group, a sizable number given that most of these individuals have gone “unnoticed before in endless rounds of debates pitting” science against religion.

According to O’Brien, “[The Post-Seculars] are pretty knowledgeable and appreciative about science and technology but…are also very religions and reject certain scientific theories.”[1]
