>>>Admitting the possibility of a God, no matter Its scope, (in)capacities or morality, would imply that I'd have to formulate answers to at least some of the beforementioned quests. I think that would be a tour de force that I'm not capable of. It is far easier to explain things if we dismiss the existence of a God. Do you know of a quest that can easier be answered by a believer than by an atheist?

No, see, that's the point. The believer always has the same basic answer. As far as I can tell, there are really only about three answers required to be learned. They can be used to answer just about any question you ask.

Answer #1. It was God.
Answer #2. Because the bible says so.
Answer #3. God works in mysterious ways.

As an atheist, you have to come up with entirely different answers for every different question.

Nope, sorry Peter, for ease of answer, the believers have it all over we atheists.
