Why do I find mysticism so appealing?

I find beauty in the wiccan faith. I also find Buddhism and Withcrafy to have a certain allure to them. I was also curious if anyone else feels this way? Is there a way I could get involved with all that, and still be atheist?

I suspect you find them appealing mainly because they offering the alluring promising of allowing you to (pretend to) know or control things without having to do the hardwork needed to, and face the frustration that come with, really knowing, understanding and controling things.

They are like the college degrees and certificates you can buy on line and put on your resume but which no responsible person would consider to be to your credit.
