Do you feel like you have a greater penchant for insomnia because not believing in religion means it is on us to solve the world's problems? Or do you sleep better knowing you have not succumbed to the hysteria that is organized religion?
I am definitely of the "insomnia due to the weight of the world on my shoulders" breed.
I don’t think any insomnia I have is due to the weight of the world on my shoulders from being an atheist. Rather I think about other everyday concerns...Work, my children, finances etc.
Well it is 3:54 a.m. my time so I'd say I have insomnia tonight. But I'm not sure it is the weight of the world. Mine seems more to be existential angst
I feel like I sleep much better knowing that the rest of the mixed nuts on this rock are handling the praying for something to get fixed. If I can fix it, and it needs fixed, and the praying hasn't fixed it, then I'll get around to fixing it. Making me more powerful and more important than the imaginary friend they are praying to and putting all of their trust in.
