This is arrent nonsense. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. I mean, I could claim that an invisible pink elephant sitting on my shoulder created and controls the world. Should this claim be given equal validity to the claim that I'm deluded.
This is the strategy of the fundie whackjobs who say both Creationism and Evolution are theories that should be taught with equal emphasis in schools.
Look! Religious people. Don't argue with atheists on logical grounds. You lose every time, because belief in The Big Ugga Bugga Man in the Sky is not logical. Your best bet is the 'FAITH' strategy. You believe in God because you have faith that he/she/it is there. Don't worry that this is the same as saying something is true because you would like it to be true.
As to the OP:
The idea of 'filling the void' is meaningless to the true atheist. You are projecting your own impulses onto us.
