How is atheism close-minded? Atheists are some of the most open-minded people I know. Most atheists were not raised atheists so they had to have an open mind to get to atheism in the first place. Almost every atheist I've ever met has been quite receptive to new ideas, but reluctant to accept them as true until shown sufficient evidence. How is it close-minded to demand evidence before you believe some new idea? It's not that we don't consider the possibility of a supernatural, it's just that we see a conspicuous lack of evidence for it. If the supernatural interacts with our physical universe, where's the evidence? If it doesn't, what's the point of religion since nobody can possibly come to know anything about it?
