Of course it is. For you. For me also. But not for many.
Quote: An Atheist is simply one who lacks belief in a god or gods.
There's a problem, right there. That word "lacks". Many people just can't accept the idea that "lacking" anything can be anything but a loss of some kind. To me, atheism is a form of enlightenment, in fact in relation to religion it could be helpful to view it as the "ultimate enlightenment". A bit like a kid discovering that Santa Claus is really just Dad in a dressing gown.

So basically everything in the world is hunky-dory then.
Great!
