I do not believe in a deity, higher power, or a messiah. However, that does not make me atheist.
Atheism is a mirror of the sureness that the Christian god exists.
To be irreligious is to be indifferent toward organized religion and to have personal knowledge against it. A person that is irreligious does not believe there is a deity, at all. Not to confuse it with being agnostic.
Agnostic means that someone believes that there is some kind of deity or a higher power, different from the ones from organized religion.
Love is spawned from human ideas. Look around, what are our mammalian relatives doing? None of them stay together forever. The only thing they know is to eat, sleep, and mate. Humans are the only creatures on Earth that make an attempt to stay with one other human "forever." People are entitled to say what they like, but they are only fooling themselves. However, it is not one's own fault to believe in love. Our predecessors, our mentors, and our media; all teach us what they want us to know from birth. They want to teach us that there is a god, that there is love, and that there is a predetermined purpose for us. It is not a bad thing, teaching these things prevents mass suicide, and overall chaos. However, these things are not true. And we are taught from birth not to lie, yet they are doing it themselves, and get us to do it to our offspring. I only wish that there was a happy medium of truth and peace. However, life is short, too short to find such a medium.
