For myself, I am officially an Atheist, in that I reject the idea of a separate, dominant spiritual quality that people call "God." I believe, however, in the existence of a natural power--not supernatural--that comprises all creation in the Universe, that is eternal, that is interconnected.
Einstein grasped a bit of this by proving the correlation of space/time as another dimension--he scratched the surface of this universal connection. This universal connection is what religion attempts to provide a framework for people to relate to. We typically call this connection "spirituality", and for those who relate to this connection in a parental fashion, this is called "God."
Seeing this, then, in such terms of spirituality, do you think that with all of our ideas about divinity and God, and the various cultural flavourings with which the we depict them, the basic reality, this natural, universal order, is even affected? Do our opinions help us relate....or only provide barriers?
