Let\\u2019s be honest, most of the truth claims made by traditional forms of almost all religions are not just beyond anyone\\u2019s ability to prove, they are, by and large obvious absurd to any critical thinker. It wasn\\u2019t just Voltaire and Bertrand Russell who clearly articulated deep skepticism about religion, most of us have in less articulate ways. But the choice is not between either total atheism or assassinating our brains to pretend to believe silly things. There is a way of being intensely spiritual within the mystery and wonder of existence. The way of the mystic promotes love rather than division, and joy rather than fear. We can live beyond the guilt and manipulation of our former religious lives into a much more honest and happy existence.
