Anyway, I'm a first generation atheist and I have no doubt that ALL religion is bullshit so your premise is wrong.
What about Murphy’s Law: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"
Most of the time we are not sure of ourselves, things happen and we cope with them as best as we can.
Then don't make blanket assertions that you can't sustain. That's for the preachers.
My coping mechanism usually entails a glass or two of red wine. Never do I think that any problems I may have will be solved by talking to myself and pretending that there is someone else listening.
