Any disregard away from self-hood and religion would be ignored, the thing about biology and chemistry is that it still deals with ourselves, even astronomy is something about the self. Why, must it always come back to human level.. We are self-concerned and self-centered people and we live in a world where individuality is so much more important than just being a person. We don't have strength as individuals because we are never understood and what defines our society is never understood either. There is a standstill of unlimited amounts of possibility without any actual definition, without actual estimation of what the true result will be. There is only the temporary and many individuals who truly understand that there is no truth, that there is no real definition or certainty of self-hood/community/society truly connect with atheism for that exact reason.

Just a thought about religion
Here is my problem, religion is used as a means to cope to deal with ( you, me-us ) existing thats not what religion should be.. I know thats impossible but thats the only point right. The ability to interact with something foreign or beyond us, in order to make us think we are looking at the bigger picture, which makes us reflect and act differently. Sometimes religion makes a individual react out of fear due to the punishment of not following certain principles that a religion or belief follows. The other side is the gift of what we will receive if we act accordingly to the belief we follow ( whether chosen for us by family or not). The communion of words gives us a sense of higher purpose . The words that we read within a belief system are actually just turning our common knowledge of what we ( grew up understanding ) or (grew up to understand) as ( good or evil) into fragmented mystifying circumstances of nature vs. nurture- good vs. evil- chance vs. choice etc. These metaphysical or ethical or spiritual treatments about our selfhood or self in terms of our interaction with our unbalanced and ambiguous community. These words become more powerful when our place within our community is unknow/uncertain, when the roles we think we play are not played. When we are restricted or denied by the people we do socialize with or the people we would like too. This duel combination of self uncertainty vs social uncertainty makes us clench onto theories that we find the most soothing or self reflective in one way or another. Any combination of circumstances, can exist in order to make someone search deeper into a practice they already know or do not know for answers. The level of which one falls apart or feels unknown or mystified by his/her own existence can come from any amount of stress or disorder or discomfort, its very individually base in other words some people do have thicker skin, when it comes to dealing with their individual reality. We rely on religion to give ourselves hope, by exploring valuable words of truth a person is able to reinterpret and re-acknowledge what is happening to themselves, their community and/or society, it really depends on what someone is really looking for.
