Hmm …

… Why I don't believe in God - Marginal REVOLUTION.

 I am frustrated by the lack of Bayesianism in most of the religious belief I observe.  I’ve never met a believer who asserted: “I’m really not sure here.  But I think Lutheranism is true with p = .018, and the next strongest contender comes in only at .014, so call me Lutheran.”  The religious people I’ve known rebel against that manner of framing, even though during times of conversion they may act on such a basis.
Actually, a book has been written on the subject. Here is my review of it. Here is another review, courtesy of Dave Lull.)
