But then I've never been big on role play, don't really see the appeal.

When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages,
when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling,
that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...
The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."

By definition, if you aren't a theist than you're an atheist.
(The percentage of humans that are theists) + (the percentage of humans that are atheists) = 100%
Also, Heil Kauthar!
