Subject: RE: BS: Non-belief in a god is not a religion
It is perfectly okay to dispute, reject, and counter-argue against any piece of dogma, high or low.

But to roundly dismiss the human instinct for reaching into the infinite, contacting the divine, or otherwise seeking connection with the ultimate Cause in the universe, is a very dull-witted thing to do.Even an atheist keeps on looking. And the collection of impulses articulated by our species over the last four thousand years concerning source, ultimate Cause, and similar topics, is evidence that something about the question is important to the human heart, and should not be trampled on.

Why step on the soul just because you want to eliminate superstition?
