The vacuousness of such a statement is revealed when one realises that "higher power" can be replaced with a large number of things including - but not limited to - karma, non-detectable unicorns, and UFOs. The fact that something cannot be disproven is hardly a justification to believe (or continue believing) it.
That being said, I generally agree with your sentiment that you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Still, there's also plenty of Christians and atheists who treat each other fairly, and I'd like to think I'm one of them.
Right, which I choose to use higher power instead of God, because most people will automatically connect what I say to the Christian God. Most atheists believe in the big bang, but it can't be proven; just a theory. You can't disprove or prove what happened in the beginning so why is it so idiotic to just believe in something that makes sense to you?
Believing in Karma isn't such a bad thing either. If it's keeping you from being a shitty person to others, then I think it benefits society.
