Not necessarily, there are quite a number of members here who used to be devout believers in various faiths, christians included. They all 'learnt' that god doesn't exist and generally they seem to be pretty well balanced and quite happy about the whole thing. If you ask them, they will confirm this.
Anyway for what it's worth, I gave this a bit of thought and decided that family, health and mind would be my choices. If I were to be purely materialistic then right now perhaps losing my PS4, "Introduction to modern astrophysics" book and a pint of Guiness would get me pretty riled. This is one English atheists opinion only of course.
