You underrate the value of belonging to a community.
As an entrenched atheist (and by definition an atheist is also an individualist), by love, I attended mass most sundays for several years. I understood that I underrated the community part and that to belong I didn’t need to believe only respect. I didn’t convert (and most likely never will) but it softened my views.
- krapp 4y ago>by definition an atheist is an individualist. No? By definition an atheist doesn't believe in the supernatural or divinity. Nothing about that proscribes individualism, nor does community presuppose religion or "softening one's views" on the existence of the supernatural, as you have. Plenty of atheists are also social people who enjoy the benefits of community, while remaining perfectly comfortable in their skin.
