Even just the lack of belief influences the beliefs you do have. The exclusion of God, gods, divine influences and transcendent principles all have logical conclusions. While such exclusions make for a good working methodology for science, it is an impoverished way to approach all of life.
But if exclusion of those principals makes good for science, why would it impoverish life? After all, science is the study of the natural.
Whats good for science is good for life. Therefore, excluding these principals will, in fact, lead to living a more intellectually honest life based on what is actually true, not what we want to be true.
