My faith in God is not always “joyous” but it is “an insecure cry.” People who need religion believe in God, as you say, but some people would rather not have religion, and still they believe. I envy atheists for their ability to disbelieve.

“Those who don't believe in God are comfortable with this life as their only existence,” as you say. But I am also comfortable with only this mortal life. I see no connection between believing in God and explaining what happens after death.

I admire your faith that creation of the universe “will eventually be explained in solid scientific theory.” My faith does not extend to such grandiose achievements.
