They both sound fulfilling. And there may exist other avenues leading to a fulfilling life. Different people will prefer one way over another. Everyone has to follow thier own path.
Your picture suggests that atheists do not care about "serving your fellow man." This of course is untrue. In fact, by not having to focus their efforts on serving an invisible god, atheists may have more time to focus on helping their fellow man. Religious organizations have done a lot to meet needs, but not every Christian truly cares about people. Not every atheist is concerned with helping people either, but many are making a difference. One does not have to worship a god in order to live a life of compassion and kindness.

Having a religion instantly puts meaning into your life, while atheism has no real meaning for life. What if god didn't exist? How would you cope? Would life be Way harder on you? But mainly my Main question is how would you cope with life and what would you think about life and death?

It seems there are a number of very outspoken atheists on this site.Do you view this as one of yourprimary reasons for being active on this site? Encouraging believers is a noble cause too but reaching the wandering soul is the heart of our Father. Do you become fan's of atheists?

For an atheist, what is the meaning/purpose of man's existence?This question is intended for me to know what really makes an atheist. Maybe, by this question, I can understand more an atheist and see where they are coming.
