Gregory S. Paul

Because yours truly wants to know what is really going down, I have been conducting objective, ground breaking, science based research and analysis of matters regarding atheism, theism, politics, societal success and mores, as well as biology and presenting the results to the public at large since the turn of the century. I was the first to conduct and publish in the peer reviewed literature large scale studies showing that the more atheistic democracies are the better off their citizens tend to be. I am also the first to calculate and publish the number of immature humans that have died from natural causes, and from that disproved the possibility that a moral, benign creator worthy of worship exists. Academic analysis involving societal conditions, socioeconomics, politics and religion in The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Perspectives on Violence, Homicide and War, Evolutionary Psychology, Psychohistory, Journal of Medical Ethics, Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism, Journal of Religion and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Science, Evolutionary Biology, Scientific American and other technical venues. I have placed op-eds on related matters of religion and society in the WashPost, LA Times, and Wall St J. Coverage of my research includes the same above newspapers as well as London Times, NYTimes, USA Today, Newsweek, MSNBC, FoxNews. I am a regular columnist in Free Inquiry – be sure to subscribe.
