I don't buy this idea that just because love is a chemical arrangement in my brain, my experience of it is somehow devalued, or different from anyone else's. It's still the same experience, it carries the same import as it would to someone who believes it's some special soul magic, because it's elicited by my consciousness and history with a person. Why should the fact that I know where it comes from, and that that origin is mundane rather than supernatural, make the effect less valuable?
I like being in love, I love the woman I'm with, I've loved others and will love again, and any theist who feels they have a license to scoff at the legitimacy of my emotions because of my belief about gods is an asshole. Not saying that's you, OP, just making a statement in general there.
