I on the other hand believe in me, my family & friends & what I see & experience around me. Should some misfortune befall me, I'm pretty sure I can trace it back to some mundane influence & not some supernatural, omnipotent entity & should I enjoy good fortune I would place that as the result of my own endeavours & happy circumstance.

Ok.
