Interesting how instead of answering the question you turn the question around.
I think you will find that most, if not all, atheists are willing to accept the truth, whatever that truth may be. I don't believe in something because it is convenient for me to avoid questioning it. I "believe in" something when I have observable, quantifiable evidence to examine that supports whatever claim is being made.
Now, please answer the question.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
