Oh dear...
I am a rock climber. I go camping A LOT. I hike at least once per week. My favorite place in the world is Yosemite National Park. I make it a point to be in nature every day. If I do not, I get extremely stressed and feel disconnected from the world. I would love nothing more than to build a cabin in the woods and go full-on Thoreau. However, I do not need a belief in a deity to marvel at the magnificent beauty of Half Dome. I do not need god in order to appreciate the complexities and intricacies of a single pine cone. Nature is beautiful and marvelous on its own.

That will never hold up in court...
