Also, you're wrong about athiesm being a cop out. If anythingm, religion is a cop out for the hard truth that the universe if fundamentally ambivalent about you.
Truth is, you don't matter. At all. You can be the best person in the world, or the worst person, and it doesn't really matter in the long run. The universe as a whole won't end up better or worse for it. Everybody you killed, or everybody you saved is going to die anyway, and people are going to forget your name. Less than 100 years ago the biggest celebrity in America was Aimee Semple McPherson. Does a single person here know who she is other than me?? No. In a thousand years, will it really fucking matter what she did or didn't do? Would it even matter if she existed or not?? What about Newton? In a billion years will the universe give a fuck if he did or did not ever exist??
In a hundred years. In a thousand years. In a million years, nobody is going to know who you were or give a motherfuck what you did. At heart you or I don't matter. That's the cop out of religion.
The "Goldilocks" zone for planetary habitation, (earth-like planets) probably contains millions, if not billions of planets.
And just because something happens doesn't imply god.

this was actually really well put.
and religion is the biggest cop out. in fact, you could argue that it was spread as a mass cop out to ease the minds of those who've lost loved ones or were at death's door step.
someone else said that it was the result of having bad shit happen to you that you dont believe in God...but in actuality, i've found most people who've had tragic shit happen...TURN to God to cope. Anyone who lost their religion due to a tragic event..never had faith to begin with...
