I see this as related to the death of our 

humanity

argument you touched on in 

Bad is not Evil Gabriel Greco

 

I don't believe in the literal 

God

but I do believe in the attributes/values that 

Christians

assign to him.

With that said, I find the death of our humanity to be the synonym of the death of god for people.

so that's my way of saying 'god' is alive in my existence. 

i'll admit that he was dead for many years of my life around the 18-28 portion of my life
