Just because we are bodies does not mean we have no value as a being. We are actually amazing. We can understand the universe and imagine things such as mathematic and literature.
I believe our view of the universe and life would change immensely if we could meet other beings who could reason like us, and are hopefully more advanced as a society than us.
Also, didnt know there were some "former atheists" in this forum. What is a former atheist? What do you believe in now?
Atheism is a temporal concept. Without religion, atheism would not exist. Calling yourself an atheist, in my opinion, is because you are willing to fight religion.
A world without religion is a world without atheists, too. People will simply be. As it should have been from the start.
I apologize for suspecting you were an apologist. However I call myself an atheist owing only to my lack of belief in any gods. Those of you looking to join the crusades against religion I call anti-theists. I'm more than content if the theists will just settle to live in a secular society which treats any or no religious beliefs the same. I'll leave the smashing of infant heads to the zealots on either side.
