Okay, I'll do a follow-up, but don't expect it anytime soon. The last one took me months to write (mostly due to procrastinating).

The question of moral is very important. I'm curious how the author of the blog will answer the question "Which way of life should I choose, and how could I make sure it's right?" Nowadays it's the most powerful argument of any religion: it says that people by themselves don't know, which way to go, what to live for, and religion gives them everything they ever need about their spiritual (and therefore also physical) life. They get answers for their questions. Even more, they can feel special and elected and their life doesn't seem meaningless anymore. If no one ever loves them, at least God loves them, so they're not alone in the universe. From religious point of view atheists are often considered lost and immoral. I'm writing all of these to urge J. to do a follow-up.

I was going to write about how to be moral without religion, but it wasn't really a factor in my original thought process. This is, after all, why I am an atheist. Maybe I could do a follow-up about how I am an atheist, which would answer that and some other questions.

I think you over-play the value of science in your article. You have to remember that Gods aren't around just to explain natural phenomenon but to show us HOW to live, something that science cannot do. Knowing everything about the world helps you none if you can't properly live in it.
