Re: does Darwin or the Bible lead to atheism.

The majority of Atheists I know (and that's probably more than the average) say that it was reading the Bible that caused them to become Atheists.

Absolutely. At least in conjunction with history and practical experience with various sects.

Consider someone like Thomas Jefferson. It seems plausible that he could have followed Darwin’s findings. What seems less clear to me would be an assertion that he would have turned atheist. Why wouldn’t the ToE have simply confirmed his deism?
​
In a later post you indicate your belief that deism died off. Seems that ‘spirituality’ might incorporate those who may have in the past called themselves deists.
