Confessions of a Lonely Atheist

http://www.skeptic.ca/confessions_of_a_lonely_atheist.htm"From my godless perspective, the devout remind me that
it is human nature to thirst after meaning and to desire an expansion of purpose beyond the cramped Manhattan studio of self and its immediate relations. In her brief and beautiful book,
The Sacred Depths of Nature, Ursula Goodenough, a cell biologist, articulates a sensibility that she calls "
religious naturalism," a profound appreciation of the genuine workings of nature, conjoined with a commitment to preserving that natural world in all its staggering, interdependent splendor. Or call it
transcendent atheism:
I may not believe in life after death, but what a gift it is to be alive now."
Alex's comment: Excellent! 超然無神論：不求來世，活在今生，已是恩賜。
