Atheism isn't maturity.
Neither is spiritualism.
And certainly not religiosity.

You know where true maturity lies?
In a space somehow between atheism and irreligious spiritualism, that in the end is neither of the two.
Maturity is syncretism of atheism and irreligious spiritualism without being like either precisely, and with rejection of religions, but at the same time respect for them.

Maturity is acceptance of one's own mortality without resorting to spooks. Atheism is a spook in itself, cf. DFW "This is Water" ("we all worship"). That was an insightful and efficiently stated truth, but atheism, irreligious spiritualism and religiosity aren't the only options. There's also simple contentment with life, treating it as an amazing experience, a lightning of consciousness in a bottle of nothingness, and that mortality doesn't harm this experience in any way, in fact, it makes it all the more special.

You don't need to worship to accept your own mortality. And once you do, you're king of all domains.

Agnosticism, I find, has much more to do with intellectual cowardice and "d000d we dont know!!"-type thinking than any acceptance of mortality.

The ultimate question, when it comes to everything, is mortality. Humans are naturally at self-love with themselves and think they're so powerful. The thought that they will be ended no matter what feels bad.

Will you accept this or will you cope?

I would have to agree as a non-religious person that self-proclaimed atheists are mostly immature pseuds. It’s a phase many teenagers go through, but once you start really developing your intellectual capabilities you realize that things aren’t as simple as they seem.
