I use to be an atheist and I wished that I could swallow the "pink pill" of believing that their was a God. I believed that their was not a God but I envied those who were so naive as to believe that one existed.
I have no idea how they can celebrate the idea that they simply vanish upon death. I think they lie. If they did not care if they vanished upon death they would lack the natural need to survive. If someone tried to murder them would they simply go with "oh well it matters not" or would they fight like tigers to live? Wanting to live forever is as normal as wanting to survive the next moment.
Sorry I have been using their so many times lately on automatic I used it in place of there.
