Emily Dickinson pretty much summed it up here:
I never saw a Moor —
I never saw the Sea —
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.
I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven —
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given —
No, I do not believe in god, or in Heaven, but I don't think she does either, at least in this way.
