About Me
- Devout Atheist
- United States
- I’m a scientist, with graduate training in both physics and biology. I believe that both disciplines can contribute quite fruitfully to questions of atheism vs religious belief, and I will explore this idea in some of my blogs. I am also a Unitarian-Universalist, partly because spirituality is perforce a part of our lives, believers or no. As a UU, I have had the freedom to explore the meaning that spirituality, and other “religious” terms such as grace and faith, can mean to a non-believer. Finally, while I am a devoted and devout atheist, any absolute certainty about this belief is tempered by my scientific devotion to keeping an open mind. As a result, I am leery of any dogmatic theory of the universe, atheism included- and so will occasionally explore the remote possibility that we got it wrong.

That is pretty darn funny.
Thanks, JP- your comment is much appreciated.
Quite off topic. I was reading your "about me". It intrigues me the way spirituality plays out in your life. Would you not be more comfortable labeling yourself as an agnostic? I am just curious
JP-
I am truly an atheist, and would be quite uncomfortable with the label agnostic. But I believe that concepts traditionally associated with belief in a higher power, such as spirituality, can also be deeply meaningful for a non-believer.
