Not as narcissistic as many of the religious people around here who will attribute things to prayer, their belief in God, etc. While somewhere else in the world there's kids who've never done anything to anybody to get on the wrong side of God or embrace Satan (unless you want to make some dumb original sin argument) crying themselves to sleep while they're sick or starving and they're probably calling out for some divine entity to help them too. Nah, God doesn't care about them, but you, the middle class Joe Averageman family, missed getting in a car crash on the way home because God was protecting you, you got over your sickness because God healed you, your kid playing sports hadn't gotten hurt because you pray before games. You're right about what you think based on nothing but feelings, and everyone else is wrong. Everything you have is because a divine entity is showing you how good you are, because you're special in the eyes of God.

Also, nothing about being an atheist implies you have to believe that humans as we are right now have to be the greatest and/or most intelligent beings in existence. If anything, most atheists probably hope there's something greater or smarter than us out there because we've made it a really low bar to reach... There's a big leap between thinking there could be something better than us to thinking "well obvious a divine entity created this" shit, if a divine entity created all this, hopefully this was their pre alpha trial run because they fucked up real bad if this was their best showing.
