I'm more curious as to what atheists like you and piglet believe in. You guys always leave that part out.
While I don't believe in a "man in the sky" I'm not diametrically opposed to the idea. If someone can provide evidence or clear reasoning as to how it is the only possible explanation I would probably be a vocal theist. Since there is no evidence for or against I'm not going to claim I know the state of God's existence.
I'm a skeptic by nature, I like to question things. I believe religions (not a belief in God(s), the practices and dogma surrounding it) are extremely divisive and harmful as a whole. I would encourage a separation of church and state (and policy revolving around religious ideas, like Intelligent Design) but I would never want to abolish religion, it's a personal freedom I would never want to take from anyone.
My hope is that we are able to cast aside religious bickering and oppression with religious justifications. I realize there are many moderates like myself on the theist side as well, it's just the vocal minority on both sides of the issue who seem to want to **** everything up. Hell, I only get one shot while I'm here and I don't think "there's no consequences, I can do whatever I want", I prefer to make my time with the people I meet actually worthwhile.
The point of my dissertation was to counterpoint the notion that atheism leads to no morality easier than theists implied in your post. Wasn't trying to lecture you.

It's a passage found in both the King James Version and the New International Version which I own a copy of each. Those are easily the two most owned versions of the bible.

Or whatever seeded all of our surroundings. It had to have been orderly and used some sort of conscious methodology in doing so.
I'll never, ever, believe life was an accident.
