As an agnostic I have never been much on faith but I have never felt superior for not having it (whatever it is).
Some religious folks say the "gift" of faith is like trying to explain sight to a person blind from birth but to me it always comes off more like a person born blind arguing the advantage of not having sight.
It is wrong headed to feel superior when we see the excellent and satisfying lives that some faithful live and it is impossible to know that a rich but faithless life would not be improved by faith.
Then there is spirituality, which is totally different from religion and faith imo. I think this is a necessary ingredient in any complete individual.
Do we all agree on the need for spirituality in some form?
