Yeah, I agree
I still remember how fascinated I was many years ago when I first learned about how many of the elements that make up our bodies today were formed inside stars. I don't believe in souls of course, so life itself is extremely fascinating - that billions upon billions of atoms can be organized with such a complexity that they take on sentience and can ponder their own existence and the meaning of it all.
I think religion cheapens the "miracle" of life.
