It's interesting you said you were an atheist/agnostic because you didn't WANT there to be a god... then you go on to say we "must check out brains at the door and rely on our feelings" For myself, I've never thought about not wanting there to be a god; I simply don't think there is one. And if something requires me to "check my brain at the door" it's probably something I don't want a part of. But that's just me!
