Why would you want to define your religious perspective by what it is not? Sure you are without theism, but what takes it's place?
The religious or spiritual experience is an important part of the experience of being human.
Remember that time when you were completely struck with awe, dumbfounded and speechless.
If you had to call one of the experiences in your life a "spiritual experience" what would that experience be?

A religion old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the universe as revealed by modern science, might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths. Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge.

I have a vision of Memetic engineers designing a whole series of religions refined and adapted to be increasingly contagious. The Church of Virus is great for "Atheists", but that is preaching to the choir. The medium is the message boys. Resistance to an idea is the product of the medium.

Don't get me wrong, i think the church is great! I would have been a member for a long time but i hate mailing lists.

ATHEISM:(vl) The doctrine that there is no God. Atheists believe that there is insufficient evidence for God and/or that the concept of God is incoherent so its existence is logically impossible.

That is really the only part i have a problem with. Do you really think that Stephen Hawking's concept of God is "incoherent so its existence is logically impossible"?
I would agree with you if you said that the idea that 'some conscious guiding force is in control of everything' is a silly idea, or at least unfounded. I would be careful though not to throw the baby out with the bath water. There most certainly is something that demands your awe and reverence. When faced with it, if you are not forced into a speechless state you should check your pulse. The concept of "God" was around long before people began to bastardize it with their incoherent ideas of transcendence and silly personifications. There was a time when getting to know God meant understanding reality. Can you really say that reality is just a bunch of space-time events or just a set of energy manifestations. I understand that we must have a secular way of talking about the world in our public institutions, i am all for secularism, but it is a whole nother thing to try to live from a completely dry objective description of reality. There is no reason to. You are doing us all a disfavor in allowing theists to monopolize what they would call "the human spiritual experience". You too have this experience, it is an important part of being human. It would be a very ugly world if each of us no longer developed a sense of awe or reverence for something.
