The Atheist’s Prayer

Our brains, which art in our heads,

treasured be thy name.

Thy reasoning come.

Thy best you can do be done on earth as it is.

Give us this day new insight to help us

resolve conflicts and ease pain.

And lead us not into supernatural explanations;

deliver us from denial of logic.

For thine is the kingdom of reason,

and even though thy powers are limited,

and you’re not always glorious,

you are the best evolutionary adaptation

we have for helping this earth now and

for ever and ever.

So be it.
