Atheists are still reluctant to ‘come out’
  + stars: | 2024-03-10 | by ( Harmeet Kaur | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
Just like people of faith, not all atheists believe the same things. Because atheists are defined by what they don’t believe, it’s difficult to generalize what they do believe. What do atheists believe? Nearly a third of atheists believe humans have souls or spirits in addition to their physical body. It's hard to talk about atheists as a large group because they're defined by what they don't believe in.

“I want people to see what a meaningful, happy life I’ve had with these beliefs,” says Dennett, who is 81. They’ve got trillions of motor proteins, and motor proteins are not alive. Motor proteins aren’t alive. Life couldn’t exist without these little molecular machines — by the trillions — that are working in your body right now. Human life and human consciousness are made possible by these incredibly brilliant consortia of little robots.

A “general amnesty” has restored hundreds of accounts of right-wing activists and QAnon adherents, according to data reviewed by NBC News. The reinstatement of far-right accounts has coincided with a series of bans of left-wing accounts, leaving users unsure of how the company is now applying its rules. It’s a dangerous combination.”The reinstatements and bans come as researchers continue to monitor an uptick in hate speech, and high-profile users leave the platform. Among the spammers, copyright rule-breakers, adult-content creators and high-profile accounts, Twitter has reopened the door to a growing and emboldened community of trolls, white nationalists, conspiracy theorists and extreme right-wing activists. Those reinstatements also come after Twitter dramatically reduced its staff, including those dedicated to dealing with abuse and hate speech.
Elon Musk said he won't restore conspiracy theorist radio host Alex Jones' Twitter account. Musk recently reinstated formerly banned accounts like Donald Trump, Kanye West, and Andrew Tate. The billionaire CEO of Twitter responded to a tweet by American philosopher Sam Harris on Saturday, who asked: "Is it time to let Alex Jones back on Twitter, Elon Musk? Musk had already said "No" on Friday to one user who had tweeted "Bring back Alex Jones!!!!" Musk reinstated Trump's account on Saturday after polling followers about whether he should be allowed to return to the platform.
