We are in good company

I got a link to the list of the 50 most brilliant atheists of all time. I recommend to read the list, it is a fascinating read. And interesting to know that we share our non belief with such distinguished people like

• Stephen Hawkins
• Steve Wozniak
• Warren Buffet
• Katherine Hepburn
• Jodie Foster
• PZ Myers
• Richard Dawkins
• Richard Leaky
• Sigmund Freud
• ... and 41 others

Years ago, I used to think that if almost everyone believed in God, God's existence must be real. Now that I know better I realize that this line of thought is an argument "ad populom" or, in other words, a generalization.

Truth is not a popularity contest but the concordance between our judgement and the facts; actually, as we all know, truth can be very painful and unconfortable...
