Surely, atheism is closest to the truth, but it is missing only one small thing.

Consciousness is not a mistake, it is integral to the order of the universe in the same way gravity is.

Is consciousness really a thing, though ? Kinda the same question as free will existing, do we have any more free will or consciousness than a machine or a rock ?

I think that consciousness is the one thing we know for sure is real. Your every experience demonstrates it. Any attempt to disprove it will invariably include some conscious experience in the process.

People far smarter than me have said that consciousness is an illusion though. I guess to them I have to say, I have no idea what that could possibly mean.
