Still, even the most admirable of atheists is nothing more than a moral parasite, living his life based on borrowed ethics.

But this is only post-facto rationalization, not reason or rational behavior.

For me, spirituality includes the belief in things larger than ourselves, an appreciation of nature and beauty, a sensitivity to the world, a feeling of shared connection with other living things, a desire to help people less fortunate than ourselves.
