RE: How do you deal with life now that you are an atheist? (With a little of my life)

People believed in the afterlife long before Christianity. Egypt was an entire civilization built around being prepared to navigate the afterlife.
Personally I've had an NDE where I popped out to look down on the water at my drowning body and I had the distinct time, space and volition to consider fully leaving the planet or return to my body. I felt nothing but peace in all directions so I motioned to leave and then a multi-layered voice (the voices of many women with the lead voice as my physical mother) simply said "Don't go yet". That was all it took for me to consider the consequences for others if I "died" which of course would devastate them and it would be a selfish decision. I would of course die again eventually and the same state would be waiting for me so I decided to return to my body.
There was more that occurred but that was a major part of the experience and I lost all fear of death. Now I "fear" not truly living.
I don't if it helps or not, or even if it can. Just relaying to you my experience in the same field.
