I personally have an enormous debt from my perception of the world to Cosmos by Carl Sagan.

It's not simply a world view absent of supernatural forces. Yes, it is that, but at the same time it is much more.

It's a world of discovery. It's a world of curiosity. It's a world of wonder and imagination. It's a world of exploration.

And the way to properly search for questions is first to stop pretending we already have all the answers, like religion does. I find almost every religious comment and answer so... reductionistic, so simplistic, so pompous, so pretentious, it kind of kills the mood of discovery and curiosity.
