All right---tried to avoid this but I guess it is obvious—I am an atheist. I am not an atheist wishing god will prove me wrong—I am an atheist, That does not mean I am not spiritual, it means I do not believe there is a god. I have had very wonderful people try and show me the error of my ways, and I don’t go there---but to paraphrase a conversation—“You don’t believe in god/” “No” “What do you believe in?” “Man” “Man is evil” “I don’t know—I don’t know that---but I know that if there is a god—he is leaving it up to us—which means he trusts in man—and that works too. Either way, the smart course of action is to put you trust and effort into man.”
