Is atheism worth living for? There's belief to die for in atheism, but to live for? I am irreligious in life and hopefully death. What cause would you die for but you can barely stand its followers?

There is only as much worth in something that you want to put it.

Depends on the atheist in question.

Oh, I put in alright and then my fellows tell me to shove it up my arse. But far worse is the silent treatment and this applies to the majority of atheists. If I wanted quietism, I would have joined the Church. But if I don't stop myself, nobody else will. Not even God could achieve that.

What is my madness? I doubt that it ever really went away.

Humanism puts humanity first, and God, a distant second.

People of actual faith are very hard to find on the ground. And blind faith is a danger to life lived.

I'm an atheist but I don't live for atheism. Not sure why anyone would.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Atheism is a lack of belief in one thing. I don't have a clue as to what you're going on about.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I don't understand the question.
I don't believe in gods, pixies or goblins what's this "is it worth living for" about it's just the way I am
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
