Here, in my usual nutshell form, is my reason for thinking that atheism is actually the true path to "enlightenment".
"You already are one with the universe, you just don't know it. Enlightenment is realizing it."
Atheists know this, though I don't know how many of them have actually realized it consciously. If they give it the thought it deserves, I think they will see that this is true. We are all simply a manifestation of the universe.
We living beings are what happens in the universe when the conditions are right. In some of the instances of life, a lifeform may become sufficiently aware and intelligent to realize what he or she truly is: A bit of dust granted the temporary privilege of consciousness; the universe waking up to take a look at itself.
Once one realizes this truth, the petty struggles of mankind seem foolish at best, monstrous at worst.
