How I feel about my atheism and why I'd encourage religion

I have no anger or hate towards atheists (just towards atheism itself). I made this post to see if there's anyone like me here whose personality also clashes with their atheism.

How can you hate atheism? What is there to hate? It is just a word to indicate the same lack of belief in gods you too profess not to have. You seem to have a notion of what sort of personality one must have who does not believe in gods. I strongly doubt that. I find a wide spectrum of personalities who reject belief in gods.

Frankly I don't really know what you're getting at. There is something you liked about believing. I don't regret having been brought up in a religion. But I have no desire to go back to it. Perhaps you're more freshly out of religion? I don't really feel you.
