It's not a direct relationship, but IMHO an indirect one.
Personally for me it is basically like this, that the Universe is so infinitely huge, somehow just calling it huge doesn't do it justice, wherein the concept of God or Gods as is defined by most Earth religions seems too tiny to describe an entity or a race of entities that could be the real God or Gods.
Moreover, even if the above mentioned entity or race of entities does exist, which created the Universe, I'm so infinitesimally tiny that they don't care about me, and certainly don't care about whether or not I pray to them.
In other words, the human concept of God or Gods is just one level above the humans. And, then if you add the fact that this one-level-above is also just a matter of faith and there is no evidence even of that, then the whole thing crumbles.
In other words, whether or not there is a God or Gods, has no bearing on me and my life and me and my life's decisions are not going to be bound by that.
Whether that is atheism, or being agnostic, or something else can be left undefined. It's more like, I don't care. It is simply that my life's decisions are not going to be in any way influenced by whether or not God or Gods exist, whatever the right word for that is.
BTW, the Hindu cosmology [0] does delve into such philosophical things, and perhaps my Hindu upbringing has something to do with my beliefs wherein asking such questions and pondering over them is allowed.

- kirse 6y agoIt's more like, I don't care. It is simply that my life's decisions are not going to be in any way influenced by whether or not God or Gods exist, whatever the right word for that is. And yet here you are, spending your time and energy making the decision to post on an internet forum about whether you believe God does or does not exist. Seems like you have been influenced and you do care. If you truly didn't care (roughly the same level of care someone puts into their thoughts on unicorns and leprechauns), you'd spend exactly zero energy talking about the subject. Keep searching and testing for the truth my friend, it is out there.
