I was raised in a religious household. I was a Christian in my youth. But honestly, I've always evaluated worldviews by how they help me in this life. Eventually, I just decided to be an atheist and I did it well for a period of two years. *It made my life better.* But all good things come to end. I rededicated my life to Christ. I got nothing good out of it.
And now I'm back to being an atheist.
Emphasizing utility is useful, but that's all. Our best and deepest meanings lie elsewhere.
