I can't justify a deeply spiritual feeling. I know that understanding is false not usually related to knowledge, but like everyone else I believe what I believe because to me it is the truth, and it makes me happy.
To me, as an atheist/pantheist, the universe is both sacred and beautiful, so full of wonder and awe. I have the same kind of love for it that Christians have for their god.
In my mind I know that my every thought and action will play it's part in the grand story of the universe, (for better or worse, I don't mind which) and I'm proud to be a part of it.
