Granted there's the threat of some god that will cast you into a fire, or abandon you completely, because you didn't believe in something there was no evidence for. That says more about the god than you, though.
It does in the context that there is nobody helping humans in a magical way.
But when the atheist claims the theist is wasting their life, I'd only agree on pinning their future on false hopes.
I would not however, which many do, equate class to the litmus test of "success".
Rich and poor, famous or not, all have the ride end the same way.
I am no fan of the bullshit "cliche" "Live life to the fullest".
The cheetah can produce short bursts of energy, but a Galapagos Tortoise moves slow and has a far longer lifespan.
I agree humans waste their lives pinning their hopes of a fictional forever. But while we are alive what we do matters. And it isn't always about speed or beating someone else to the money.
