I used to be a monotheist and found the certainty it provided quite reassuring. It took a lot of time and contemplation in order to move beyond that, but now I'm quite comfortable to live with the uncertainty resulting from a non-faith outlook. There are even some traditions that acknowledge the uncertainty of what we know e.g. [1] But, after all, who knows, and who can say Whence it all came, and how creation happened? the gods themselves are later than creation, so who knows truly whence it has arisen? Whence all creation had its origin, he, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not, he, who surveys it all from highest heaven, he knows - or maybe even he does not know.
