21. For me
as a theist, prayer is meditative.

I think non-theists can meditate and get similar benefits, if they choose to. They don't need to address God or a Higher Power in their meditation.

So, if you try meditation, perhaps you will find what you are looking for. There are many options for the Godless to find solace. But having "our cake and eating it too" is a weird way to put it. I don't think of religious belief or non-belief in those terms. It is what it is, and we embrace it as we embrace it.
