Enlightenment is man's release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man's inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! 'Have courage to use your own reason!'- that is the motto of enlightenment.
Immanuel Kant

Theist vs. Atheist
If we are prepared to be honest about this, there isn't a human being on this planet who has ever been anything other than agnostic concerning the existence of God. This simple fact brings to an end any single useless argument between people who believe they are theist or atheist.
Nobody in the entire history of humankind has ever brought forward any credible evidence to support or refute the existence of God.
The root of all theistic arguments is "I believe there is a God." With variable confirmation biased claims to support that belief.
The root of all atheistic arguments is "I don't believe there is a God." with variable confirmation biased claims to support that belief. The wise person is brave enough to light to say "I don't know." and also "It's irrelevant to my ongoing experience."

The range of choice open to the individual is not the decisive factor in determining the degree of human freedom, but what can be chosen and what is chosen by the individual.
Herbert Marcuse

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.
Aristotle
