This whole idea of childish atheism confuses a lack of belief in god with ungodliness. You can still live a virtuous and moral life without believing in god, you just need a different reason.

Thread fin.
It's curious how so many atheists have an unwavering support for stupid shit like astrology, palm-reading, and Gaia-worship.
There are also a handful who instead of believing in a god, believe in this omnipresent "-ism" entity (sexism, racism, weight-ism, etc) that is the #1 reason behind the shortcomings of certain demographics.

Well, those -isms are the human creation so it would be retarded not to believe into those.
It's less about the belief and more about the attribution.
Everyone takes as leap of faith of some sort. We take a leap of faith when we first get into game. Some people take a leap of faith towards capitalism, or socialism, or social democracy, or whatever. It is a risk you have to take in order to survive. We are all gamblers.
That said, I don't believe Santa is real. I don't believe in any kind of overlord consciousness controlling us, except maybe a Boltzman Brain, but it's too soon for one of them to exist.
It's true that we are driven by nature, but not a "lord." Anyway, why would you want to submit to another sentient being unless you were a woman?

I'm a committed atheist and only see a justification for foolish beliefs associated with atheism as the result of teenagers on the internet. Plenty of mature adults are atheists.
