How Do Atheists Console Another Atheist Who Is About To Die Without Invoking The Name Of God?

God factors not into either of those emotions, and therfore is not needed in order to practice.
In the end we all know,pagan,christian, atheist, or otherwisw that we are born unto a grave. We all know that we will have our time, and then will fade.

Is Atheism really just another religion or faith based concept?It seems like the notions that there is a God or there is not a God, are both founded in belief because there is not proof either way. Well there is proof, but not conclusive in either direction. So aren't organizations with set forth...

A few atheists on this forum are in the habit of pushing the argument that religion causes war. Although the argument has a half a leg to stand on, I have never seen one admit that there are other causes of this unfortunate phenomenon. I took a quick search of the history of atheism...

Why Do Religious People Get So Angry At Atheists?When it comes to Atheism, most religious people get angry and even combative when it comes to this subject. I wonder why, especially in this day and age, one would feel anger towards another human being with a different perception/outlook/belief....
