No, you chose how you respond to the world. Our beliefs about reality have no impact on anything outside our own experience and informing our desires.
You don't believe anything exists other than minds? Reality existing independently from experience means we experience an objective reality, the light from the sun reflects off a rock and into our eyes - that is where our experience of the rock begins - We did not experience it before the photons hit the retina and the rock would still exist without anyone to experience it.
You are imposing your 'interconnectedness', at least you seemed to be implying that you could not revere nature without your 'god' concept.
I'd love to see these sources
