I love the idea that the nonreligious have more of a need for meaning. I’ve found that to be true in my own experience. I also think it’s one of the best things about being human.

It definitely requires thought.  Not just being a "puppet" of god.

Working out your own meaning in life, just like figuring out your approach to moral questions, definitely takes more work than sitting back and having them handed down by a deity.  But that work is well-rewarded.  It IS one of the best things about being human, especially a deconverted human!

Once I realized that this is the only world I'm ever going to live in, I became inspired to experience as much of it as I could while I had the chance.
