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%

The words are of Old Norse and Old Germanic origin, and there are both secular and religious usages dating back as far.
