Part of my satisfaction in being an atheist comes from the comfort that there are always questions. Absolute truth on most of the BIG questions of life probably won't be answered. Some people would rather delude themselves with religion and provide a set of answers.
I suppose that's just an other aspect of the existential fear of being human. The fear of the unknown and unknowable (the big one being what happens when I die). Religion provides BIG answers to the BIG questions.
