Do you meditate?
Do you meditate?
I mean samatha/vipassana or whatever.
I encounter things relevant to atheism sometimes when I meditate.

Nope. That'd be the next religious nonsense.

Sorry but sitting down and observing your thoughts, or trying to concentrate your thoughts on something non stimulating is the next "religion"?
What exactly are you on about?

As an atheist, I love to meditate. Meditating is not something religious. It's just spending time feeling your own body and relaxing
-
For clarity, are you saying that you think meditation is nonsense? If so, why or what about it do you think it's nonsense?
-
Do you ever pay attention? Do you ever concentrate?

What do you mean "encounter"? Also, what kind of "things"?
When I meditate I sometimes perceive strange stuff. That's the encountering.
I have encountered what might be called "spirits" and a "creator". So that's relevant.
Think of it as a telescope or a microscope. It delivers a new way of seeing. Among other things.
You're what might be called "full of shit".
Think of it as your idle mind wandering and making stuff up for its own amusement.
