While theists can learn by listening to atheists more, atheists themselves can foster greater understanding by not just emphasizing the “no” of atheism — our disagreement over the existence of any gods — but also the “yes” of atheism and secular humanism, which recognizes the amazing potential within human beings. Carl Sagan, the agnostic astronomer and author says that you can be an atheist, agnostic or nonreligious person and consider yourself “spiritual.” When I recognized my place in an immensity of light‐years and in the passage of ages, when I grasped the intricacy, beauty and subtlety of life, then that feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. All I seek is human progress.
