Nice perspective! I, too, have been bothered that any time I bring up that I am atheist it often leads to confrontation that I don't want and yet feel obliged to engage in. I do feel wonder and awe and deeply spiritual feelings, that I know are deeply rooted in my psyche and are part of being human... a phenomenum that on one hand I know can be explained through biology and evolution, but on the other hand I enjoy this feeling of connectedness to the universe. I don't want to give up either perspective and don't think I have to. Humanism may be a good answer, a good category to classify myself as.

Thanks Cadell!
