Hi  Fools_Rush_In,  Fuck your mysteries, these are the facts:

  1. You didn't chose to be born.
  
  2. You will eventually die.
  
  3. All any ever did was burn bright, 
     like a match, dissipating into the night.
     
  4. Control is the goal, not maximal consumption.
     
  4. The word God denotes a position:

       You're God's slave, and God to your slaves.
  
  5. Randomness comes only from a failure to measure some true causality;
     hence, today's technologies and theories are not the last word.
  
Oh, and by the way, the above hard facts, not trivial tautologies.

You told me:  I see atheism as reactive.

Only theists give a damn about atheists.
It's Physicalism, not atheism, that says:

  Physical processes determine absolutely everything.
  Randomness comes only from a failure to measure some true causality;
  hence, today's technologies and theories are not the last word.

Re:  Religion,

It's a way to get high without drugs.  Churches are bars... plain and simple.
The word God denotes a position:  You're God's slave, and God to your slaves.
