Everyone in the world is equally wrong about god, the after life, and everything else that we try to explain in spiritual terms.
It sounds dumb, but I actually find it reassuring. To me this means that it's okay not to agree with how anyone has laid out religion or atheism because they are all wrong. In fact I don't think that we are biologically capable of coming up with the right answer to any of life's big questions. That doesn't mean we can't try, but it sure takes the stress out of coming up with the right answer. Like most academics knowledge is of paramount importance to me, so it's weird to be comforted by the realization that in this life I'll never be capable of answering a question correctly.
