-and unless that thing is god..it has absolutely no bearing on atheism or any reason to believe in a god.
My wife is beautiful if a god exists, and my wife is beautiful if a god doesn't exist. The existence of a god is irrelevant to the truth of that statement either way. Therefore it doesn't.
Some truths are beautiful, some truths are not. Those beautiful truths would be beautiful in a world which contained a god, and one which didn't. Those truths that are ugly would be ugly in a world that contained a god and one that didn't. Therefore it doesn't.
You're not talking to people who don't believe that human beings have this or that compulsion to beauty or to truth, you're talking to people who don't believe in gods.
