I think there are many atheists whom can seem just as boorish as, oppositely, people emotionally-invested in believing “everything” owes its existence to angels on the proverbial pinhead. It has been my personal observation, that, a lot of Atheism is really a reactionary metaphor for hating one’s parents (or, specifically: resentment toward having-had an awful father). Very few of these people can seem to bring themselves, even as adults, to formally sever any kind of emotional attachment to the toxic relationships in their lives. Instead, they’ll carry their pity-party frustrations around with them like an albatross and (90% of the time) undoubtedly try to unload the guilt onto someone else totally *unrelated* to whatever their psychological torment was caused by.
My parents raised me to be a spiritual secular humanist. I realized long-ago that Religion was invented by men: looking to excuse their own, literal, evil; while, as well, intended as a control weapon against women. However, I absolutely believe that a human (or pet/animal) soul *does* ascend to another realm after physical death AND the greatest gift possible to receive will be: to have the pure energy of one’s consciousness eternally at-one with the Universe itself. There, to me, is nothing of value in the material conditions of this world today I remotely have any interest in being enslaved to or believing in the (self) importance of wasting worry on (especially, at age 56).
