Recently I read an discussion on Y!A's about how Atheism can be "spiritual" or how Atheism can be "religious." I agree with such assessments as spiritual "can be" seen as "mystical" and there is something very "mystical" to life, via Quantum Physics and a religion is a philosophy lived and practiced, i.e. an Atheist could be a Buddhist, since Buddhism states that man create gods, constructs that confine them and all there is really is us. But to be fair the objective of Buddhism is the same as every other belief that exist as the core knows it of a particular movement; Gnosticism for Christianity, Sufism for Islam, Jewish Mysticism for Judaism,etc, which objective is to transcend into a inner state of knowing into a higher reality of ones being and harmony, both within and without.
So what occurs to an "spiritual" Atheist when they become acquainted with such a inner reality that transcends material existence to a reality where symmetry can only be found?
Peace
