You should really examine the baggage you have embraced along with your core belief that there is no god.

Now there is a statement for the ages
As an atheist. Exactly what baggage do you believe I have embraced? Is evolution baggage? Is belief that every bit of matter on this planet (including you) came from an exploded star baggage? Is my belief that people like you are in for a really dark shock when you die and you don't wake up at the golden gates baggage? Is it baggage that I sent more money to Japan for relief than I couldn't really afford? Is it baggage that I give about 8 hours of my week to kids fighting addiction problems?
The real baggage is people who think anyone who doesn't carry the great fairytale book isn't a good person. The real baggage is people who force the same book on their kids and wonder later in life why those kids end up recenting them.(about 80% of the kids I help come from strict religious parents)
No sir, belief in a religious god is passé,people are getting too smart for fairytales and my belief is the sooner it's gone from society the better.
