You know StatCrux, I think you're missing an very essential point here regarding inspiration. Being atheist does not mean incapability of fantasizing and imagination. It just means knowing where to draw the line between the real and the imaginary.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
