A great example of a religious philosopher was Nietzsche who wrote "God is Dead" as a warning that declining faith could lead to rising immorality. Ironically, his fellow Christians have been failing to understand his message for over a hundred years, because they as a whole lack literacy, or morality.

According to philsurvey, 80% of academic philosophers in the anglophone world are. About ten percent are agnostic and ten percent are theists.

Get drunk constantly? Harass everyone and get in fights? Jerk off in public? Probably fuck boys and grope women? Shit in the street? Hates everyone but especially other people like him?

Oh snap, they're just the first spring breakers who actually wrote down the insane shit they say.

As somebody that spent three years trying to get a job as a tenure track philosophy professor, this is very accurate.

As a software developer, I would name the second category “People who write about philosophy”

There are plenty of philosophers who don’t publish.
