Simulation Hypocrisy

"Science is a culture of doubt. Religion is a culture of faith." - Richard Feynman

"Atheists are just modern versions of religion fundamentalists: they both take religion too literally." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Always amazed that people who seriously believe we are living in a simulation also mainly tend to be atheists. They have no evidence we are living in a simulation but they have faith in the idea nonetheless.

At least the major religions have historical proof that their leaders existed - the Buddha, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. What proof do those who believe in the idea of a simulation have? None. And what's the answer if you ask them who created the simulation?

Yet these folks seriously don't see the irony of having "faith" in something you have no proof of and suggesting that this reality is the product of some invisible programmers in the sky.

Just an observation that amused me.
