  1. For me specifically, I think there may very well be a neurological element to my atheism. Spirituality and spiritual experiences have been pretty much alien to me as far as I can remember. I still believed as a child, but praying to God was more like writing a letter to a distant relative whom I never really heard back from. It is and has always been difficult for me to view the world as anything but material. I've tried revisiting the subject a few times over the course of my life, and never really got anywhere. Trying to pray always made me feel painfully aware I was trying to talk to someone who, at best, couldn't talk back. I'm not so sure it's a theory of mind thing, but it does feel like I was born without a cog crucial in these matters.

  2. The difference there is that money and government are a tool to manage materially provable resources, while religion is, on paper, meant to bring people to god/s nobody can prove exists.
