Yes it is the default logical position. The default logical position for anything is not magic.

You probably won't believe me, but that doesn't make your point any more valid. *shrug*

Yeah see this is what I'm talking about when I say you're redefining religion until it becomes a useless word that doesn't really describe anything.

its not coincidental

The groupthink is systematic because those positions manifest pretty naturally from the original stance taken on God/religion.

Actually I disagree

What it really is, is that you have to assume there's an answer to even indulge in naturalism. You can't actually ever be 100℅ sure that's right. That's the one leap of faith required.
