This is, as you can imagine, a large topic. Probably a good start is to study the sayings of Epicurus - the Greek philosopher; here are a few:
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which cannot exist when I do?
-- Epicurus, quoted by Robert Green Ingersoll in "Why I Am an Agnostic"
If the gods listened to the prayers of men, all humankind would quickly perish since they constantly pray for many evils to befall one another.
-- Epicurus, quoted from Eugene O'Connor, The Essential Epicurus
Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; Or he can, but does not want to; Or he cannot and does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. But, if God both can and wants to abolish evil, then how come evil is in the world?
-- Epicurus (attributed: source unknown)

It is simple. There is absolutely no proof that supernatural entities control human destiny, human actions or nature.

It is much better to concentrate your time and energy in improving your own life, taking responsibility for yourself and controlling your own destiny.

What were the confederates philosophical and practical justifications for secession during the civil war?
The practical justification was purely that they thought they could go it alone on the strength of their cotton exports, and that they could defeat any military intervention. The philosophical justification was that they were a noble and heroic society, with blood-links to the Cavaliers of the English Civil War, different and superior to the industrial North. If their cotton trade depended on slavery, then slavery could be seen as a God-given arrangement of man and master.
