People are scared and I don't blame them.

[Angrboda]

However Islam does NOT make sense without belief in the unseen. It revolves and is oriented around that. 

These people can't understand  it because they lack faith in the unseen. They themselves are unseen, so essentially they are denying themselves and neglecting their true reality.

The link with the divine is the greatest gift we have, not valuing that link as it ought to be valued, is not forgivable in Islam.

And what if that link with the unseen is not a link to God, but just a link to unseen natural processes? It being unseen means you can't be sure. So linking it to God as if you were sure is just wishing for it to be so. It's not evidence that the unseen has anything to do with God. I read some of your writings from when you were an atheist for a few weeks. The most prominent mood in your writing was one of fear. I wonder if half the reason you are drawn to seeing metaphysical bugbears in the unseen doesn't have to do with an emotional response. I don't deny that the 'unseen' in terms of self identity, beauty, praise, and so on present important mysteries. But it's just lazy thinking to throw up your hands and say, "well, magic." The unseen doesn't need to be based in absolutes. Your unconscious is also unseen and it doesn't need to be a symptom of God. It's just a natural part of what you are.
