So I wonder if there is any other neuological type more likely to be athiest. If not then religions greatest threat is aspies. So if evolution needs religion then aspies are doomed. If religion is infact not needed or counter productive to evoultion then aspies might have a chance even though our birth rates are low.

Human beings do need religion. This is evident in the fact that religious beliefs are a universal, they are found in every society. There is no society in the world that has no religious beliefs. Science has shown that our brains are hardwired to seek God (or create God if you don't beleive in him)

There was an endless void.

15 billion years ago a speck formed.

8 billion years ago it blew up.

5 billion years ago our sun formed.

4 billion years ago DNA formed.

Blue-green algae formed.

It mutated.

Mutant aspies develop cyber technology.
