How to Find Meaning Without God

It is possible to have meaning to life without a higher power? Some would say no, but this is simply not true. There are many good and moral people that have profound meaning to their lives that do not believe in god.

Personally, I have previously believed in god in my life and do not believe today. At some point I just could not logically have faith anymore in god. The evidence and how I felt didn't add up to believing. However, I've found meaning in other areas of life.

For instance, there are many ways people find meaning without god. One common area is the environment. Mother earth can be a natural way to be connected to something bigger than yourself without believing in god. Another common way is health and exercise. Being in harmony with your body gives significant meaning and makes you feel better.

These are parts to the whole. Believing in something bigger than yourself is the key. Personally, I believe there is a greater power at work in the universe. I believe that it is an enormous coincidence that our earth is such a perfect habitat and cradle of life. Therefore, I am agnostic. I believe there could be a higher power but that man has shaped that power to their own definitions.

I believe all religions and faith derived from the same source, they were just shaped differently into the end results by cultures across the globe. I also believe that even if there is no higher power at work and other earth-like planets with alien beings are discovered, there is still meaning.

There is meaning to life because life is too precious to be meaningless. Each living breathing human being is capable of so much and for this reason each human has meaning. Each life has meaning with god or without.

Can there be Morality Without God? Yes!

Of course there can be and there is. You will see if you look around you that there are many good, decent, kind, and downright cheerful people that don't believe in any god. You may use labels for them like secular, atheist, or just godless, but you would be surprised if you got to know them. They are not hopeless people. They do not fear god. They do not believe in god.

However, the vast majority of these people are good, honest, and have a strong moral fiber just like many god fearing people. Having faith in god doesn't make one more moral. Either you have it or you don't. People capable of horrible things don't discriminate. There are just as many god fearing criminals as criminals who do not believe.

The simple answer is, Yes, there absolutely can be morality in a society without god. I don't believe our society will ever become completely devoid of god fearing people, but remember it's okay to believe, nor not believe, and if you don't believe you can still be a person with strong morality.

there, is, no, god, what, if, atheist, secular, godless, morality, morals, without
