Some no. Some are. Hes right that highly emotional held views are harder to change. But then i would guess highly held logical views are in the same boat.
Doesn't mean they can't be changed or haven't been changed, just that it takes more to change them.
Dont know. It depends on the behavior and views we are talking about. I stopped drinking soda recently. It wasn't that hard. I would find it harder to change the view the sun is hot.
Isn't that wonderful.
You can't measure the behavior that results from an atheistic worldview but you're competent to influence others' views?
I'd say you take stock of the U.S.S.R. under Stalin some time.
Lots of atheists at the helm there. They had no trouble buying communism hook, line and sinker.
A lot of communist governments have come to fruition and stayed in power in atheist countries: N. Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, etc.
It's interesting that most of the Christian countries that communism started up in managed to neutralize or kick out communism though sometimes it took a few decades.
