It's not only believers in God, people who wish
for there to be a God, who want their world view to be correct---so
do non-believers---so do atheists. Aldous Huxley wrote an article
called, "The Confessions of a Professed Atheist," (he's
a descendant of the great Thomas Huxley who helped put Darwinism
on the map). He admitted very frankly that he wanted the world to
be meaningless. Because if there is no God, and the world is meaningless,
then that means there's no moral order---and if there's no moral
order, no prescriptions about how we ought to live that come from
on high, then he could do as he wanted to do. He said he objected
to God and the moral order because it interfered with his sexual
freedom!
