If you have no religion or do not believe in any gods, where do your peace and strength come from?

I have an inner sense of right and wrong, that has nothing to do with any higher power. I think we are mostly born with this. We don't need something that may not be real to be decent humans.

To be honest, all my life I have struggled to understand how and why anyone would have to gain strength and peace from external ideals. I don't see them as apart from me, nor do I see myself needing to rely on an ideal for both. They're just there, a part of me, always have been and will keep growing as I grow.

I hope the responses here help me understand your feelings better, it's been bothering me for quite a while..

I am still figuring out as well. I guess it is just about right to believe in something, specially when a person feels weak and powerless. But the worst that can happen, for me, is when everything else does not seem to come together and what I have worked hard on, with all that I’ve got and with all my selfless intentions, would not necessarily fail but would not be given a chance.,, in fate’s most ironic way ( hard to explain- but it is a God-is-laughing-at -my plans kind of experience). It is in this time where I wish I should have believed fully in myself, taken full responsibility, so when everything else fails, I would feel lesser pain knowing I did my best, than being resentful and hateful for feeling abandoned or worst feeling laughed at by God. This kind of thinking is not psychologically healthy as well [es0tericus]

Inside me. My higher self. The love in my heart.

From the self
Probably from the drugs they do or booze or therapists they pay to cry on their shoulders.

@MarmeeMarch You are an amazing advertisement for a religion ostensibly about being compassionate, forgiving, and non-judgemental.
@CountScrofula I just answered a question -🤷‍♂️ I am not a bible thumper nor do I try to convert anyone. So fuck off.

Life is war and I'll have peace in the grave, but my strength comes from force of will, and from my wounds and scars.

The sun gives me life the moon gives me peace.

God not gods people that believe in gods / goddesses don’t have peace in them but rage just act peaceful/ respectful when they actually want to kill everyone

Sorry I not only believe but know ther is a Creator being of all things of all Gods. And my faith hope and strength lies with him.
I guess they would have to depend on Donald Trump.
