Why atheism cannot escape absolute truth
RE: Why atheism cannot escape absolute truth

In fact, I would argue further, if we can be certain of naturalism, then we can be certain of these things being delusions and magical thinking. 

Yet not only do humans know these things are not magical thinking or delusions,  they live according to it as a foundation to their lives.

What? I certainly hope you're not pointing to science. As opposed to belief, science uses tests to establish very strong peer reviewed probabilities. What's naturalism meant to be anyway? Science tests what it comes up with. It's certainly not magical thinking. It's based on what we know presently and checks their findings against that. Which, ultimately is all we can expect, since we can't know what we will know in the future.
