Whether or not you believe in simply the concept of "god(s)" or do not, what you have expressed is at the core of what I, as an independent thinker and "humanist", for lack of a better descriptive word, would advocate for all people religious or not to seriously consider and evaluate for themselves, as a personal philosophy.

I actually don’t believe in atheists. Seriously. I think there are two types of people in the world, those who love God and those who hate God. Either you look around at the incredible nature of existence and are drawn to God, or look at the world as such worthless place that you don’t want to have anything to do with its Creator.
It is personally unbelievable that someone could simply deny that an intelligence beyond our understanding is behind the development of a fertilized human egg into a child, the incredible beauty of stars being born from nebulae, or the Earth’s orbit that must be so precise that were it off by one percent none of us would be pondering anything. It seems that an “independent thinker” would find it a bit restricting to limit her/his thoughts to only those that exclude the arcane.
