The forces of Nature that drive the Universe. The rules the Universe
operates by are amazing. Read up on quantum mechanics for example.

The energy of life that is all around you, in you, in other human
beings, in plants, in animals. There is nothing religious about the
force of life itself, the instinct and will to survive, live, grow.

The belief is right and wrong, which atheists have, do they not?
Those are a few example I can think of. Good and evil do exist in
human being and there is nothing religious about that. Some human
beings are born without a sense of right and wrong, psychopaths. What
is religious about that?

>I had thought that an atheist would not believe in ANY higher power!

Well, you've "met" some here that do. Go to an open AA meeting and
you'll meet others that do too.
