you must not be that familiar with philosophy. there were many secular and atheist philosophers. some pantheists and some christian. like i said before, most dealt with how we know things to be true so they were as skeptical of religion as scientists. in fact i believe that philosophy progressed as science progressed. the first philosophers were scientists, but with the enlightenment and the reformation, religion was undermined and secularism entailed. philosophers were the thinkers riding the tide of science and secularism. you need to checkout post modernism as to the relativity of truth. the modern age started with science and we are now in the post modern age with regards to philosophy. that is why we have the emergent movement in christianity. a response to post modernism.
