Title: Atheism and the Apotheosis of Agency

Abstract: Enlarging on Justin Barrett\'s accounts of theism and atheism, this
paper suggests that a hypothesized heritable biological factor plays a role in
explaining distributions of theism and atheism across populations. Genetic
variability in populations, it is argued, may give rise to differences in the
sensitivity of the \"hypersensitive agency detection device\" (HADD).
