Description:	I read somewhere recently that nowadays most philosophers and their students are atheists. Such a claim, I suspect, is true in regard to philosophers only to the extent that one thinks philosophy is being done these days only in certain schools of thought (e.g., logical positivism, materialistic naturalism), and excludes not only all those many individuals who practice philosophy within the framework of one or another particular religion (e.g., the Reformed Epistemologists, Catholic Thomists, Christian Existentialists), but also anyone who, independent of any specifically religious orientation, entertains, say, a more idealistic, albeit evolutionary, approach to philosophy (e.g., Process Philosophers). Insofar as philosophy students are concerned, I can only speak from my own experience. Of the more than six thousand students I have taught over the past thirty years, some, but certainly not most, were atheists
