does every philosopher believe in a higher power?

does every philosopher believe in a higher power? I don't think I have ever read a philosopher who did not believe in God or the soul. Why is that?

    Yes, they believe in, and know regarding, higher powers, and the highest power.

    >I don't think I have ever read a philosopher who did not believe in God or the soul. Why is that?

    Sapience, sanity ("common sense"), and theotic syncord.

    Most analytic philosophers are non-theists, there is data on this.

      Those are either: nonphilosophical logicians, or sophists/odiosophers, not philosophers.

      if you have no soul, then why should I take your "analysis" seriously?
      >I said non-theist
      if you aren't God, then why should I take your "analysis" seriously?
      >are theists God?
      if you aren't created by God, then why should I take your "analysis" seriously?

          >letting a bit of skin get between him and God
          I'm uncut btw. (and going to Heaven). Read the Bible, it'll tell you about that. (this is LULZ after all so just read the Bible)

          >letting his semitophobia get between him and God
          I worship a israelite (Jesus). You rejecting Jesus is what 3they3 want. They would rather you hate them to the point of "swimming pools", than you go to Heaven.

    If you only define Christian philosophers as real philosophers, then you have your answer. In that case 100% of philosophers are Christians, mystery solved.
