Physical processes consist of causal chains that just are. It does not make sense to say they are directed toward desired ends. And purposes are defined by reference to their desired ends. Thus any form of atheism that denies teleology makes life a hollow gesture.
And with religion? How does life become any less hollow? That is the fundamental question here. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
What purpose does religion give you?
