What does it matter what atheists think? Since they claim there's no afterlife, we won't run into them anyway.:)

You're actually pretty close to being onto something there. In fact, it doesn't matter what people believe about things which are outside the realm of possible experience as long as those beliefs don't lead their holders to do harm to those who don't share their beliefs.

It's only when beliefs about things outside of the realm of possible experience lead those who hold the beliefs to harm others that something must be done. Case in point: radical islam.

I have been a hospital worker for 20 years and it always amazes me how many people are rediscovering God right before they die.
