3. Know that the godless can share you wonder and awe of the world
There is a story about Isaac Newton. When he discovered the properties of light that made up the rainbow he was accused of unweaving the rainbow. It was said that demystified the beauty would be lost.

Yet I understand what makes a rainbow and I find it no less beautious. In fact knowing what makes it appear has lead us to find new venues to explore and new wonders to marvel at.

Know that we both look at the world displayed before us and experienced a shared sense of awe. The entirety of nature in action can take you breath away. I have sat on top of a mountain and wept at the beauty before me. If this perception of wonder can be shared between skeptics and believers alike then I find it a good thing and would welcome it with you.
