The earliest best atheists were the Seven Dwarves. For fear of the Queen they hid away in the mines digging the whole day through, but deep in their hearts they kept resentment and disloyalty toward her. The Queen wasn't a good queen and she wasn't deserving of their love. Nor did they give it.

I wonder what happens to her in the end.

Diagoras of Melos.

Or perhaps Lucy.

Let's not forget Justin Martyr:

"Thus we are called atheists. And we admit that in respect of such supposed gods as those we are atheists: but not in regard to the most true God . . . ."

Atheism most always unravels to politics. If there is no supernatural world, what choices remain?

Science.

With the understanding that we do not know everything and cannot know everything.

As an individual most of us know relatively nothing. As the human collective we know considerably more.
But if we don't know how much "all" is, we don't know how much we don't know.

As I interpret it, Atheists more or less deny the existence of god. An Agnostic leaves the possibility open - or at least questions the various definitions.

I am of the agnostic camp. Sure, there may be some sort of entity that is greater than us - aka "god", but I'm not convinced... yet

Yes.

I've heard some say that because everything is so finely put together it is evidence of a higher power.

That's a whole other rabbit-hole thread to fall down.

I've thought of the opening of 2001:A Space Odyssey, though I'm not so sure those monkeys didn't worship something.
