My boyfriend was raised in a Sikh household but identifies as spiritual. He believes in god as a manmade label for the forces of the universe; however, he also believes in souls and reincarnation. I used to share his concept of god but as I researched theism and reassessed my views, I rejected all forms of the concept. I enjoy telling him about my views and hearing about his but lately I feel like my total rejection of god dissapoints him a little. He's usually very open-minded. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

It's going on now.
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.
