I disagree that spirituality without a personal sky daddy is necessarily 
better than a spirituality with a personal sky daddy.

(I use the term "personal sky daddy" as a mildly derogatory way of referring 
to the generic supernatural deity that has a personal interest in your 
well-being and behavior, rather than a generic "god that created the 
universe" kind of thing.  This tends to forstall the silly "what if god 
created physics and then let everything take its course" kind of arguments.)
