Those are really your two options. However, if I was to go with number 2 I would of gone back to God, as I did anyways.
False dichotomy.
Why are these your only two options? I can be an atheist without running around and being a complete hedonist. In fact, your option #2 (with the exception of the sabbath) could apply to an atheist!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
