> PANTHEISM

It is perhaps zen to say that all is nothing-

Atheism contains much of the same stances, obeys Occam rather more
fervently, uses fewer letters, and comes earlier in the lexicon....

There is also nothing not natural about atheism....

"Beliefs, including religious ones, are learned. Which makes atheism a
normal state of affairs and religious beliefs a learned "abnormality". No
psychological theory is necessary to explain the causes of a normal base
state. Any psychological theory of learning, attitude change or
socialization can explain the causes of religious belief."
- Rosemary Lyndall, clinical neuro-psychologist
