We, of course, know how it works, but we cannot see it; I cannot prove it how it 'touches' me. Just like I cannot prove how God / High Spiritual Being touches us.

It isn't a belief system. Atheism is the natural conclusion that anyone who investigates the "God Hypothesis" on a purely rational basis must arrive at. There is no evidence to support the God hypothesis and overwhelming evidence to support the laws of physics, chemistry and biology. So in light of these facts, it appears to me that any rational mind must come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as gods. Andrew, I don’t “believe” in atheism. It isn’t a belief system.

We all need something to believe in, I gather. So Cameron I take it that the only thing you - strongly - believe is atheism…

And why shouldn't religion *be* killed? Surely the 21st century will challenge the human race enough without us having to continue to carry the burden of bronze age superstitions and mythologies. It's time that Yahweh and Jesus went the way of Poseidon and Zeus, classified as ancient literature and remembered fondly for the wars and horrors committed in their name.
