Atheists haven't deeply thought of the following:
1. What makes us who we are
2. What is the mysterious nature of love.
3. What is the language of love
4. What is to be truly valued and have worth.
5. What is free-will
6. What is perception
7. What is justice
8. Most philosophical arguments that assert to prove God haven't been given their due.
9. What is that we appreciate and praise
10. What is reason
11. What is goodness
12. Most of all, what is love.
These questions are essential to humanity.
Religion wise and their hostility towards religion:
1. Emphasize on differences without seeing the underlying mysterious unity of religions in the essential teachings and doctrines of what makes us human.
2. Leadership and the underlying agreement of religions on the characteristics of those worthy of leading us to God.
3. Haven't thought really what the Creator is capable of in proving his religion through literature.
4. Haven't thought of the need to have a rope from God and handhold to hold on to with all the confusing mess of diverging paths and thoughts
And I think a lot of religions have come with an agreement to much of these questions and are agreement that eternal divine being is the source of light.
Oh, fuck off. Your presumptuousness has gotten beyond absurd, and now you're just being an insufferable, arrogant prick. I mean, you just posted this on an internet site where there are literally dozens of examples of atheists thinking deeply about those subjects.
If you want to bury your head all the way up your ass, that's your prerogative, but can you at least give us the courtesy of not running around screaming at everyone to take a look?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
