Disagree with simulatarians about whether or not we are simulated?
Disagree with theists that people have ontologically basic souls; further disagree with the claim that the 'ontologically basic' / 'supernatural' aspect of a god is unimportant to its definition.
(What theists think is not relevant to a question about the beliefs of people who not self-identify as theists.)
I feel like there are two independent questions:
1) Does there exist a creator with a mind?
2) Are minds ontologically basic?
I think that accurately factors beliefs into 2 different questions, since there are (I think) very few people who believe that god has an an ontologically basic mind yet we do not.
I do not think it is justified to combine these questions together, since there are people who say yes to 1 but not 2, and many many people who say yes to 2 but not 1.
