Is there anybody else who feels an absolute joy and sense wonder and fulfillment when learning about the true scientific reasons for the how the universe and everything that is in it came to be ?
Do you feel an immense sense of wonder and amazement when you contemplate the sky at night and marvel at all we have learnt about our orgins and existance and all that there is still to know ?
Finally do you think that this joy and wonder is far superior to simply accepting ancient dogmatic myths as a way of explaining the world around us

So what you're saying is we should instead blindly accept a new dogma instead?

Not really. It depends on what the real answers ARE. I'm atheist, and couldn't be anything else without evidence, but the reality of being a conscious chemical computer crawling on a ball of rock, hurtling through cold space doesn't make me feel very good.

As much as ignorant is bliss, we must progress as a species and learn the truth.

I certainly do. Why should the reluctance to question and learn be a virtue?
