You're right. I have constructed a "view" of the world around me based on logic that is reinforced by the sciences. I ascribe to logical explanations for natural events in lieu of supernatural explanations. Understanding the world around me by learning about it is how "fear" is removed from my mind. I, personally, don't need a deity to remove the fear.
So far it has not failed me. I have considered that I may be wrong, and in fact I have changed my thinking as I learn. For instance, I used to not believe the theory of evolution was true. Learning about the theory changed my thinking.
Unfortunately many people on both sides of the belief fence tend to be adversarial and confrontational. There's really no need in that.
