I, a lifelong atheist, have started to sense the presence of God

Atheism is the absence of belief and therefore I have no shame in "acquiring" belief and ceasing to be an atheist.

They say this but they are ideologically committed to philosophical materialism.

But is this what belief is? Or do people literally believe in a man in the sky?

I would turn you towards classical theism as probably the only way back in for most dramneurodivergents:

Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) accepted both Aristotle and Christian revelation. He accepted both reason and revelation as sources of knowledge of God. Over the neo-Platonic notion of a hierarchy of reality in which lower existences are less real and a mere shadow of the divine, Aquinas accepted gradations of form and matter. Atop the hierarchy is God as pure form and no matter. As pure actuality and no potentiality, he is perfect and therefore changeless. He is also pure intelligence and pure activity. To these Aristotelian concepts Aquinas added Christian convictions that God is loving, providential, and ruler of the universe. Reason and revelation are in harmony because they have the same divine source, and revelation is not unreasonable. Perception is also in harmony because the world's origins are divine. This being the case, God as cause can be known through the world as effect. For this reason empirical facts ground Aquinas's theistic proofs.

You can read more about the different classical conceptions of God here. I will pray for you and wish you the best.

I was brought up atheist and had no real connection with religion other than one religious school I went to, which was sometimes annoying (even now I can say the Lord's Prayer by heart) but was nothing terrible. I was never a militant atheist because I didn't really have much to rebel against. Religion was just this nonsensical thing that existed somewhere in the world that I had no reason to involve myself with. I don't think anything will ever change in that regard. I can't believe in something just because it pokes my emotions in a certain way. Give me some evidence or I'll ignore it.

I have seen typically non-relgious people say some uncharacteristic things though in times of stress, or when someone dies etc they'll start wondering about an afterlife. That's fair enough. Later once the hard times have passed they go back to being unreligious.

I think some people have a tendency to need to 'believe in' a thing. Militant atheists have a similar thinking pattern to religious people and indeed they often go back to their old religion, or switch between different types of magical beliefs throughout their lives. You'll see it a lot in the world of spiritualism too, people involved in that stuff bounce from crystal healing to homeopathy etc without much thought about whether it's all really real. It's just a thing to believe in.

I wish I could believe that humans are important enough for the universe to give a shit about us, but if that's what gets you through the night, then go for it.

Almost all humans throughout history have felt similar - that there is more to life than just what we can see and touch. A big part of prayer is how we lean into and come closer to that. I pray you will find truth in your search.

I hope you get r*ped cute twink

God is a lie we tell ourselves btw

Or do people literally believe in a man in the sky?

No it's a very dumbed down view of what god is.

I would recommend you call a church and make an appointment to talk with a priest. I would recommend hearing what they have to say over anyone on this website.

Worst case is you waste an hour or two to get confirmation in your thoughts one way or another.

Me too but I was never arrogant enough to think I knew there was nothing there

that god exists is obvious and i assume anyone who doesn't see that must be deficient. but anyone who tries to characterize him must also be deficient

Atheism is not the absence of belief.

Logical thinking leads to right conclusions.

So you must choose: do you wish to believe in something that is impossible and impersonal, or something that is impossible and personal and loving? There are no alternatives.
