Could I pick apart this or that belief and assess it on grounds of evidence or logic or integrity? Sure. I was an atheist long before I knew how to do any of that, though..or even had any specific interest in it.
IIRC, the reason for atheism is that they believe there is no God because there is no/ineffective evidence to support that there is a God, which leads people to believe there is no God or something very similar. Which, sure, but there is no evidence that life should exist either and yet here we are.
Maybe I;m just not as mystified by our existence as you?
Now, I do see alot of people in some muddy ground between the faith of their childhood and atheism..playing with the idea of getting rid of the "organization" as though the organization were the issue...and I suppose I might understand that better and empathize with it more had I grown up in some shitty batshit religion..but I didn't. I don;t see your faith as distincly different, semantically different, or rhetorically different as the next common christers.
It;s the foundation thats busted...not the wallpaper.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
