Atheism embraces pointlessness, ethics are meaningless if the entire world is pointless. Saving the earth from "global warming" would be pointless if the world is meaningless. Staying faithful to a spouse and/or doing anything to help society as a whole is pointless, meaningless because it will all be gone anyways right? Especially if no one is going to reward you for it. What is the point of being remembered for any time at all when you will eventually be forgotten. Atheism is more harmful than religion. In fact religion is helpful to society.

You need some man made bronze age mythology to give you meaning? That's very sad. :(

Atheists don't waste their lives performing stupid rituals and otherwise trying to appease fictional gods out of a delusion of going to a magic theme park in the sky for eternity.

You aren't going to be rewarded after you die any more than you will be punished.

An atheist's life has no meaning, that's just objectively true.

You're wrong, atheists believe that they give their life meaning.

If an atheist believes his life as any sort of objective meaning he's wrong. It doesn't even work to say that it's to procreate, it isn't, that's just why you're here.

The chart focuses only on an individual's fate and misses everything meaningful.

If everyone focused only on their own afterlife, no one would have bothered to invent the soap you use to clean yourself or the internet you used to post this. Would you prefer to live in a world like that?

Atheism is the absolute denial of meaning, to say you give yourself meaning is to not be atheist

You should learn what atheism is.


It's very simple. It's the lack of belief in god(s.) Nothing more.
