What are atheists for? Hypotheses on the functions of non-belief in

"An explosion of recent research suggests that religious beliefs and
behaviors are universal, arise from deep-seated cognitive
mechanisms, and were favored by natural selection over human
evolutionary history. However, if a propensity towards religious
beliefs is a fundamental characteristic of human brains (as both by-
product theorists and adaptationists agree), and/or an important
ingredient of Darwinian fitness (as adaptationists argue), then how
do we explain the existence
and prevalence of atheists - even among ancient and traditional
societies?"
Definition: God is Reality.
By completeness, to be consistent (~[]f, <>t) is equivalent with the
existence of a Reality satisfying the belief by the correct machine
(correct = the truth of "[]p -> p"). Then by incompleteness, no
correct machine can prove its consistency, so no machine can prove the
existence of a reality satisfying its beliefs.
When the game in town is 'to eat or to be eaten', there is some
interest in betting there is a reality. The entity *needs* faith for
that. That is plausibly made automatically by the animal's brain
already.
Gödel's incompleteness is a sort of Satori, enlightenment, made by the
machine which distinguishes []p (what she can justify) and p (the
truth), and []p & p. The Lôbian machines are enlightened in the sense
that they already know that they can't define "truth", and can only
pray to be part of it.
In that sense, atheism is a disease, it is an interruption of the
natural dialog between the justifier part of the brain (the left brain
perhaps) and the knower-part of the brain, the right brain perhaps,
([]p & (& <>t) & p), the experiencer, the builder of knowledge.
Sometimes you can loose faith, that's the bad days. It is called
depression, faith in reality, or faith in humans, or faith in your son
or something or someone.
When "universal", it is the depression due to lack of bet in any
Reality. In that state they eventually get eaten quickly.
There are medications.
It concerns not just the humans or higher animals, it concerns all
numbers involved in universal relation with plausible universal
relations, even an infinity of them below their "substitution level",
which might explain the quantum aspect of precise enough observation.
Mechanism is not a reductionism. Machines have a rich sophisticated
theology actually comparable to the line or the rationalist mystic,
like in Milinda, or the line Pythagorus, Parmenides, Moderatus of
Gades, Plotinus.
The universal number/code/machine is a constructive vaccine against
the reductionist conception of machine and numbers.
We can already listen to them now. They know their soul is not a
machine. That needs some course in mathematical logic to figure out.
Of course the self-called atheists today are not sick, I think that
they just confuse a theory/religion with the subject domain.
I will never insist enough: theology (and health) must go back to
academy. And there is no problem with the clergy if its transparent
member can blink and laugh and never enforce anything.
