I&#x27;m not religious, but I should point out that IT isn&#x27;t the most &#x27;scientific accepting&#x27; as some might think it is.<p>For example: Is IT&#x2F;open source&#x2F;tech&#x2F;programming a meritocracy? If so, how do you explain the massive gender skew? How do you explain how there are scientific studies showing people can be sexist in science (which should be as &#x27;science-based&#x27; as IT)?<p>Many people in tech, confronted with this, will double down. They&#x27;ll claim tech is a total meritocracy, that women must just be studier at tech etc. etc.<p>Atheist IT people can be just as closed minded as some bible thumper.
