…atheist 64-year-old long distance swimmer, diana nyad, said to oprah winfrey that I think you can be an atheist who doesn’t believe in an overarching being who created all of this and sees over it…but there’s spirituality because we human beings, and we animals, and maybe even we plants, but certainly the ocean and the moon and the stars, we all live with something that is cherished and we feel the treasure of it… …I can stand at the beach’s edge with the most devout christian, jew, buddhist, go on down the line, and weep with the beauty of this universe and be moved by all of humanity — all the billions of people who have lived before us, who have loved and hurt… so to me, my definition of god is humanity and is the love of humanity …she added that she saw no contradiction in being an atheist and being a spiritual person...
