Are Atheists "Philosophically Limited"....?

I think you clarified for yourself. On one hand you question the idea that religious beliefs are founded on ignorance and on the other you brazenly declare that as long as there are gaps in our knowledge (AKA areas of ignorance) it is justifiable to insert God into them.You've answered your own point. No. Not at all. I just think that after the relentless failure of religion to find God in any of the gaps it has previously proclaimed God to exist in there is little reason to think any of the current proclamations are likely to be any more successful.As Einstein said - "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

Why are we here?
What happens to us after we die?
Why are we moral?
Why do humans believe in the existence of deities?
How do you explain certain personal experiences?
Etc. Etc.These are the sort of gaps into which you and other Christians place your God. Without these gaps all you have is an amalgam of ancient myths retold in the old Testament and the tale of a bearded conjurer who gave a fairly inspirational speech on a mount in the new Testament. So how do I access Him without recourse to plugging Him into some gap that involves 'looking within' or whatever?

The bible is very arguably a mish mash of pagan beliefs repackaged, rebranded and manipulated over time. Genesis is in large part a rehashing of the ancient Gilgamesh myth (garden, naked, corrupted by woman, wickednesss into the pure world, great flood as punishment etc. etc.). Mithra the Roman deity (also Mitra the Indian God of the Sun and Persian Mithra) was born of a virgin, crucified and resurrected 3 days later, his birth was celebrated on the winter solstice and his resurrection celebrated at the time we now call Easter, his followers took part in a ritual involving bread and wine and the first Christian places of worship were built on temples originally devoted to him. The story of Moses bears remarkable similarity to the story of the Sun-god Bacchus. Psalms 29 appears to be a direct adaption of a Canaanite hymn to the storm god Baal. We could go on.but the parallels are so plentiful this could constitute a topic in it’s own right.Here is a link outlining some of these parallels LinkRight. So you’ve read the bible and prayed and had some sort of internal/subjective experiences and then attributed God as the cause of those experiences.What makes you think the Christian God is in any way responsible for those experiences? You appear to have created a gap for yourself and then filled it with the thing you were looking for. That would appear to be somewhat circular and most definitely self-re-enforcing. It’s patently a flawed approach to seeking reliable knowledge. And what about all those who take your approach but with other holy books and conclude other gods — Why would I look for my deity in the bible rather than the Koran or the Bhagavad-Gita?
