Is it still possible to be a non believer without also being a partisan?

What's amusing to me, and on point I think - is that we often determine that a thing is real by it having action in the world.  Seems straightforward - also the source of god beliefs based on real world outcomes.  As in, god found my keys or god belief changed the world for the better.  The question becomes..if gods aren't real, then how can we explain a gods (seeming) action in the real world.  Pretty easily.....misattribution.

It depends on what they're attributing to god. In situations like these I like to use St.Elmo's fire as an example.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo%27s_fire
This is a weather phenomenon that occurs during storms where the masts of boats will produce a blue glow. Back throughout history people didn't have a good grasp of how the world worked and attributed it to things like a blessing of god's protection "candles of the Holy Ghost" to even "a sign that the Christian God would soon come and destroy the conquering Muslim army". But now we have science and know that luminous plasma is created by a corona discharge from a rod-like object such as a mast, spire, chimney, or animal horn in an atmospheric electric field. 

The point is that people like to attribute what they don't understand to god but we have much better understanding of the world now. It's time to move past religion and superstitions and embrace science.

...But according to his profile in that link, 43 total threads in his previous account... does that mean nothing?

I must be missing something here.

No, according to what we've just worked out, he had a previous account called "Mark", which he couldn't get into for some reason when he tried to log into it recently, according to his first post as 'Whateverist', so he created this new account called "Whateverist"... but his whole post history on this site is basically that "Mark" account plus this "Whateverist" account. So that's not one thread, that's 43+1 threads. If I'm understanding it correctly I mean.

That may be harder than we atheists and non-believers may be
hoping for, unfortunately.  Currently, there are marked increases
in religiosity in several large population countries...

Nigeria, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, and India for example.  
And it's of note that these countries generally have low socio-economic
standards.     Interesting correlation?

Oh... I didn't know that. Thank you mate.
