The vastness of the universe is arguably the worst place to be looking for anything other than natural forces utterly indifferent to the plight of little sparrows about to be crushed by a boulder sheering off a cliff side under the action of erosion and gravity.

Nonbelievers disbelieve in particular religions for many of the same reasons believers disbelieve in the religions they don't believe in: the lack of convincing evidence for it

Because atheists certainly have values too, and have been known to think about the role that faith does (or does not) play in those judgments.

It was giving me that cross-referenced Revised Standard Version Bible in Methodist Sunday school in the early 1960s that did it.

Many religious people (now and in the past) are people whose dignity or insights or decency I can thoroughly respect and applaud.

Not believing in god(s) has a spectrum of opinion just as belief in them do.
