Julia Sweeney spoke eloquently about leaving God and becoming an atheist. Yet she still spoke about having a spiritual aspect to being human. Whoa. That doesn't work.
Ms. Sweeney has not stopped believing in God, she has simply replaced Him with another god. From what I could ascertain, it is the god of humanity. She is impressed that we has humans have evolved on this earth, without help, to become such a complex animal. (Her thoughts not mine) She talked about how wonderful humans are so I deduced that "humanhood" is her god.
Ms. Sweeney has "lost her faith". If she sat back and listened to her own speaking, she would hear that she still does believe in God. She has for some reason turned her back on the true God.
People are spiritual. Look at people throughout the ages. No matter in what god they came to believe, the great majority of historical humanhood has believed in a god. If "god" had not been a real part of our collective lives, like breathing and drinking water, "spirituality" and worship would surely have devolved long ago. What is the evolutionary purpose of spending precious time and resources on something that does not exist? Humanhood could have developed fellowships without a god.
The questions are: in what god do you choose to believe and how much of your life do you want to dedicate to him, her or it.
Personally, I have chosen to believe in the Creator, not the created. I have been blessed by God.
