In UK atheists considred more moral than theists.

The mind can certainly create conscious construct for things that came to the mind entirely through a non-biological sensory instrumentality.   Such constructs can be a world seen with a different set of primary colors, or the forced pleasure of sucking Jesus cock forever after one has turned utterly to dust.   We certainly can imagine a forth color, such as UV or IR, and that is made easier and given guidance rooted in reality from imagine technology, even envision how they would change our visual milieu. The difference is it takes a different and more productively curious, and more critically skeptical of the unmeasurable, outlook to focus on envisioning a world seen through a different combination of colors demonstrated to exist as light carrying information, than to envision the pleasures of sucking Jesus cock after an end that one is too infantile to accept.
