The Cognitive Science Colloquium series presents:
Will Gervais, Assistant Professor of Psychology at University of Kentucky:
Moral distrust of atheists, and how it screws up basic theory on the psychology of religion
The majority of people on earth view religious belief as a necessary component of morality, leading to moral distrust of atheists. To paraphrase Dostoevsky, without belief in gods, isn’t everything permitted? Gervais will present studies exploring the degree to which people intuitively view atheists as capable of committing various heinous and immoral actions.
