The Atheist View of Death
Religious people can't believe the atheist view of death, which is that we just die, cease to exist. This is a concept that is beyond the scope of understanding of most religions because they've all devised some magical place where you go after death and they promise their followers that they'll go there if they just do everything they're told and give the religion some money.
The only scientific evidence we have is that when we die our bodies cease to exist. Our brains and bodies shut down. We become an inert mass. This is one of the hardest concepts for human beings to grasp, the idea that we won't be alive one day.
Atheists don't generally love the fact that they're going to die, it can be really scary, but that doesn't mean they need to make up some story about where they'll go when they die. Instead, atheists cherish the current life they have because it's the only one they'll ever have. They live life to its fullest and generally do their best to make it pleasant for themselves and others.
The atheist view of death is that we cease to exist when we die. It's a rather finite and frightening perspective but it shines a bright light on how valuable the one life we have is. Why not enjoy our one chance at living instead of making up stories about some other life? Nobody has ever proven we have anything else but one life. Why not fill the one life we have with love, joy, kindness, sharing, compassion, courage, and all manner of nice things?
