Dont harden yourself so much to religion, it will create divisions where there could be co-operation.

I think the correct materialist approach is to be Agnostic - we still cant prove the nature of reality so the big shrug seems like the most rational to avoid falling victim to the trap of atheist orthodoxy.

What, indeed, is agnosticism [writes Engels], but… “shamefaced” materialism? The agnostic’s conception of nature is materialistic throughout. The entire natural world is governed by law, and absolutely excludes the intervention of action from without. But he adds, we have no means either of ascertaining or of disproving the existence of some Supreme Being beyond the known universe (Engels, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, p. 18).

My face is not ashamed, but i do not shame others for what they believe.
