Atheists do not believe in any of that nonsense. Freedom and rational thought can only make life better not worse. If you have shed yourself of blind obedience to what others have decided should be your shining star, you may have more in common with atheists than you realize. Atheists come in many varieties and shades, but have certain qualities in common.
Atheists are rational.
Atheists have many different points of view, some of which are expressed in humanism, rationalism, existentialism, or objectivism. An atheist bases her or his lifestyle on the experience of the living, not arbitrary authority or creeds. Life can be maximized in the here and now, and atheists are concerned with improving the quality of life for making themselves and others happy. Go back to the main page.
