My "rejection" of religion is based on lack of observed evidence for any gods or anything else of "spiritual" substance.

So why does energy exist? It can't be created according to natural laws.

The total energy of the universe may well be zero. How's that sound?

Well I could argue that because energy and matter are directly related and can be converted interchangably that "energy" exists because matter was converted, but that does beg the question of why matter exists as well. I assume that you're asking about the origins of all matter/energy in the universe, to which my answer is "I don't know".
