The majority of atheists I meet are the latter and are insufferable superiority complex type individuals. Yet they wear their "knowledge" like a cloak and basically do everything required to be called a religious zealot.

Given that almost every group of humans have formed some sort of religious belief or substitute, I have to wonder if we are hard wired to do so. Now if some form of being, superior or otherwise had seeded us here or fiddled with our evolution. It is likley they would program us to eventually seek out the truth of that as we evolved. Given that other parts of the galaxy is about 3 million+ years older than we are, that gives another species the time to develop such technologies and interests.

We are by nature explorers. All of us in our own way whether it be by checking out the new neighborhood or climbing in a rocket to explore space. Some of us explore by researching disease or rocks or even how to properly tape a hockey stick.
We are curious as a species. We love to experiment, sometimes to our detriment.
We also try to explain things away so how convenient that some of our ancestors used to worship a god of thunder? Or a goddess of the hunt?

I have to wonder much religious lore is the result of a tired parent trying to answer a curious 7 year old.

Daughter: "Dad, if the earth is flat, what does it sit on?"

Tired dad; "Umm, umm, a turtle"

Daughter: "Ok that explains earthquakes when it moves"
