Atheists are mutants.

What do you think?

Falls flat on its face, since most atheists HAVE been believers in the past.
So, we do have the same neurotoxins enabling religion etc.

No, most atheists have never had a religious epiphany. Only reason they believed in religion is because of people around them and social norms, and whatnot.

that is most of the population, people just want to fit in and be accepted.

But religious epiphanies are now understood as neurological phenomena. They can even trigger them artificially. Everyone put into the machine just sees whatever deities they were raised to believe in. Atheists see aliens. Basically it's the mind trying to fill in the gaps with something that fits the feeling.

Google "God on the brain".

Why wouldn't religious people see aliens? It's obvious they're out there but they're either..

1) Not advanced enough for us to be able to pick up their radio or whatever they use
2) Too far away and space travel is incredibly difficult, especially for a long-term manned flight through multiple star systems

Atheists don't "believe" in aliens. They just assume that because of the sheer size of the universe it would be stupid to think that we're the only ones out there out of trillions of star systems.
