When yoy use he word "impertible", do you mean imperturbable? Otherwise I have never hard of the word. Please define what yoy mean.

These ideas that there is no meaning in life and no life after death are also matters of faith.

Maybe but I don't agree with the basic premise in that we really have no idea. Belief in god is a version. Belief in no god is another version The truth is that we haven't got a clue and that bothers a lot of people.

I think I understand what you’re saying, but I think there’s an odd irony in it. Because, as I see it, what you’re proposing is actually closer to what an authentic religious perspective is trying to achieve.

The freedom from religion that you mention is desirable only when we define religion narrowly and popularly to mean religious literalism and religious supernaturalism. But I claim that a historically authentic religion, rather than providing relief through self delusion or distraction, provides genuine liberation through deep understanding of the actual human condition.

Nothing can currently facilitate this authentic counterbalance to existential despair better that a broad and deep understanding of the interconnectedness of science, history, and art. And how dangerous to our existence some of our evolved instincts, such as supernatural “reasoning” can be.

Authentic religion then, can actually turn existential base metal into liberation gold.
