3DMonkey,
The Agnostic/Atheistic paradigm was a necessary step in my spiritual progression. It solidified my understanding of separateness and independence, as well as the idea that I am complete in and of myself. Religiosity and many spiritual understandings engender dependence and a master/slave mentality, where the supplicant is ever the weak and trembling slave to a separate all mighty Creator. I found these notions repulsive on a fundamental level from my earliest exposure to them, and rejected them.
Of course we are on the same path, all travel from unity with the Creator, through the illusion of separateness, back to unity. Duality is the illusion of separateness that instigates change, and movement back towards unity. All of our differences are merely aspects of the Creator.
I wrote an article outlining how a logical mind discovers the Creator and unity. I will post it in the blog section.
