I’m not saying atheists never get depressed. They can and they do. The same is true of Christians.
What I’m saying is, since it’s belief in god that teaches people that their lives have no meaning without god, once you stop believing in god that reason for being depressed becomes invalid. You might feel e depressed at first, because you’ve been programmed to believe that’s what you’re supposed to feel. But in time, the irony of this will dawn on you and you will find other sources of happiness.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
