They have more to do with the limitations placed on humans by other humans who believe in any god. "You can not have a moral foundation without "god". So we are told. Perhaps what would help you to shred your beliefs is to put these 5 challenges to Sunnis, Sufis, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Santeros, and Bahais. Then realize why this disparate group supports their argument with the same types of proofs you do. Then try to justify yours as superior. Not to me, to them.
1. You can rationally justify belief in a value of a human being in the framework of Atheism (and I am using this definition as in non-belief in supernatural gods).
2. You can rationally justify you being the same person as a child with that framework, that despite all the changes, you are the same person.
3. You can rationally justify your actions being linked to who you are and there is a such thing as "better" or "worse" when it comes to humans.
4. You can rationally justify the belief in justice with your framework.
5. You can rationally justify the nature of love that has language that judges all things and gives value to all things from your framework.
I am not saying you have to do all 5. You can do 1. Trust me, my faith will fall and shred, if you can and I'm not joking. It will shred.
So ball is in your court.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
