I've always thought that the biggest difference between religious people and atheists is that we're willing to just say "I don't know".
I don't know if there was something before the universe, how it'll end or if there will be something after, or if we're in some kind of simulation, or whatever else. But I'm willing to leave it at that and I don't feel the need to point to some deity to fill in the gaps of my knowledge.
I've never understood why people so often keep the two separated. Like, if you already believe in a god, why not interpret things like physics and chemistry as how your god set the world up to run? I totally get that religion is complex and divisive, but at an individual level, it seems like such an easy "problem" to resolve.
I'm not religious by any means, and I don't believe in some grand intelligence that supposedly created everything...
That being said, "your" inability to accept that there very well could be spiritual explanations for things science has yet to figure out doesn't mean spirituality is make-believe.
We are an incredibly young species. Thinking that our current scientific method and understanding is perfect just because it's the best we have is incredibly short sighted, which is holding us back.
I know I'll get boo'd for this one, especially in this community. But if y'all think dunking on spiritualists makes your position stronger, you're wrong. It makes you look like a bunch of intolerant assholes.
