I get your point. All I'm saying is that people are naturally inclined to believe in a caring being. It shouldn't be difficult for an atheist to "nourish" this inclination.

I think there can be a natural tendency to believe in superstition for instance, since we're so adept at perceiving coincidences and seeking meaning in them, as well as a natural tendency to see agency in things. Put the two together and it's not surprising to me, that and how, religion/spiritualism develops over time in our history, from primitive times to the present, but where some see that as a feature, others, like me, see it as a bug.
