Atheism and Oneness

[Plenum]

I get the feeling that there are many atheists out there who would be rather open to the idea of oneness if they simply learned how to ask the right questions, or were exposed to such a perspective in a more open and understanding attitude that sympathizes with religion's lack of a coherent explanation.

I think atheism is a gut reaction (maybe rightly) to the pre-dominant religious expressions in our society.

it is not a thing in itself, but rather a response that goes - 'no thanks, I'd rather not believe the things that you believe in".

it's like walking into a restaurant and not like anything on the menu. But given a different menu, I think they would be much more open minded.
