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

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.

Nope. That'd be the next religious nonsense.
As an atheist, I love to meditate. Meditating is not something religious. It's just spending time feeling your own body and relaxing
Do you ever pay attention? Do you ever concentrate?
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?
For clarity, are you saying that you think meditation is nonsense? If so, why or what about it do you think it's nonsense?
The part that this particular form of meditation isconnected to Buddhist religious and spiritual practices.
There are perfectly secular or non-spiritual forms of meditation. This is not that.
