I mean it's nice to analyze the fishbowl we're in, but this never will answer questions like why is there a fishbowl? why are we in the fishbowl? why are we aware of being in the fishbowl?
Mankind wants to see what it creates as intelligence, yet mainly seeks to view the world outside itself as non-intelligent. The world outside ourselves is infinitely more glorious and complex than anything made by humans and that's a fact. If you can look at pictures of galaxies, picture countless stars and planets and yet not see them as creations, well you've got some road to walk in your mind before becoming interesting to talk with.
And religion is doing any better how? In history of early middle ages or the "dark ages" religion did everything to stop/slow down the advancement of science.
I see atheism as another religion no different from the others. It slows our advancement as a species.
I also see no distinction between atheism and religions, except that each thing has it's own focus upon truths and delusions.
Atheism is a cult based upon belief systems that seem to usually be outdated in science. It is also strongly indoctrinated and people are led to believe it is dumb to think otherwise.
