In this postmodern world atheists are free to reclaim their spirituality. We can have our cake and eat it too. That is, we atheists can be spiritual actors and performers in the deepest sense of those words.

I began to understand this by reading the text of D. Midbar -- Atheist's Prayer at http://www.atheistprayer.blogspot.com/

Midbar's approach has led me to argue that atheism is dead.

Religious experience is now available universally without having to believe for a moment in the supernatural. In fact, a belief in the supernatural is a constraint at best, and perhaps now impossible (only available to illiterates and the truly delusional.

Atheism is dead both because it has triumphed and because of the prior demise of its necessary antagonist.

We are no longer prey because the predator turned out to be a figment of his own imagination.
