I am not sure there is such a tendency. Some atheists would like to make that leap, but for ideological reasons; not because humans have a built in tendency to do so.
"It seems to me there is an unbridgable gulf between an 'is and an 'ought'."
That is the atheist Stephen Weinberg speaking.
??? I fail to see what this has to do with atheism. Are the researchers even atheists? The article is about psychological research that was done, and isn't about the philosophy.
Peter Atkins is an example of the kind of atheist I have in mind. He wants to make science into the explanation for just about everything, firstly because scientism is his own personal religion, and secondly because he wants to squeeze out other religions.
