Well, the great thing about not being religious, despite it being the cultural norm, is that you get the self-satisfaction of knowing you are the one that isn't broken. Despite the fact that everyone around you is screaming that the emperor is wearing clothes, you refuse to sacrifice your integrity and instead go with what you observe. Congratulate yourself for not being an automaton and seeing through the bullshit.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
