personally I'm not sure where I stand on the concept of a god, ghosts past lives etc. but I strongly lean towards a logical perception of the world ala atheism. but there's a major part of human experience, -perception-? that atheism doesn't address.

I can't keep from thinking while reading atheist/theist posts, humans aren't vulcans. what in atheism helps (not sure if that's the right word) one make sense of there emotional response to the world and the events of life or in society ?

like the depth of sadness from the loss of a loved one, a war or natural disaster ?
or the wonder of nature. I mean, like say your watching a nature show and and some animal, like a bear or whatever is shown doing they're thing, and you think wow, nature is amazing, a theist may think wow, god is amazing, but whatever you call it I have experienced a "welling up of emotion" and even a tear just in wonder and love for wild animals, mountains etc.

yes I've been watching some of Ken Burns National Parks.

but I guess my main question is, in my assessment, human emotions have a huge pull on how they view the world, so how does atheism help sort out these emotions.
