Spiritual or Atheist? Who are you?

Personally I'm an atheist. Probably one of the least "spiritual" people to ever live. My leaning is towards straight down the line materialism.

I don't even try to come across more relatable by saying something like poetry or Shakespeare moves me to tears. I don't really like poetry and I find Shakespeare cumbersome to read through.

Thank you for sharing!!

My pleasure.

A man's ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

"(A child) knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws."

I'm an agnostic who's only an atheist when faced with religion. I am an agnostic because of my deep self-awareness & immense humility. Though I am this way, I do realize the good that religion could do! But my profound humility simply does not allow me to state that I "know" something is true if I cannot prove it with evidence.

Many things in life will always be speculation. We aren't meant to know the answers to everything. And yet, make no mistake, I do not condemn those who do believe. For it is human nature! Would you condemn a dog for wanting a bone? An ant for wanting sweet sugar? Or even a Chad for wanting a thicc Stacy? I sure wouldn't.

Those are hardly comparisons as most people who think themselves "spiritual" are actually more "cultists" instead.

There also are few "atheists" either. Just dimwits who are theists in denial, dimwits getting back at their peers and betters, or just bullshitters who still think they are teens.

Agnostic/Atheist.

I don't care enough to think deeply on whether or not there's a God out there, since it doesn't matter - it does not impact me.

[BCRanger10]

I mean... I'm a Catholic, so I guess spiritual?

[slatyb]

They aren't exclusive, unless by "spiritual" you mean "believing nonsense"
