Even if theism is a failure, it's still superior to atheism

Even in Becker, while it's been years since I've read him, I don't think the immortality projects he talks about are even supposed to go quite as far as that. Creating something that will leave an impact for generations to come, yeah, but outright transcending space and time?

That was just a rhetorical device, nothing more. Anyway, Becker's book The Denial of Death is really a goldmine, most of the ideas he gleaned from psychology and psychiatry can serve as very strong arguments against atheism.
