I was atheist before I came to AF and will be after I'm gone from here. My atheism in no way resembles organized religion. Never read any of the "bishops".
And I'm certain there is no god(s). I'll change my mind when you or anyone can prove that god exists in reality, not in mans mind of fantasy.
Tell me exactly how god gives the universe greater meaning.
If theists need the mental crutch of a "loving" god they are welcome to it. As long as they don't try to drag me with them. That's when the ridicule will start.
I think you're wrong and nature does have examples of good and bad, you just fail to recognize them.
So I take it that when you were an atheist you were all of the negatives you describe. Atheists can be optimistic and hopeful. They can promote love, justice and selflessness. If you didn't when an atheist you must have been one fucked up atheist. There may be a good chance that you will be a fucked up theist also.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
