Poll: Do atheists have as great a sense of awe and wonder as theists? This poll is closed.
Yes and more so since they don't immediately interpret that feeling within a system of beliefs.	61.54%	16	61.54%
Yes, but it isn't on par with what theists feel. Without the feeling of the infinite personified and tuned into you, it can't be the same or as great.	0%	0	0%
No, atheists are only concerned with science. For atheists the 'unknown' is just more raw data waiting to be sorted out rationally.	0%	0	0%

Just watch nature documentaries narrated by Attenborough and see how awed an atheist can be. As for myself, knowing or the prospect of knowing make things even more awesome. I do see the beautiful garden without wishing for fairies.

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
