Atheists also know that the universe wasn't created for them, and that they are just insignificant specks in the grand scheme of things. Atheists are know that life is short, and that there isn't an eternity to do the things they want. So, I contend that atheists are emotionally stronger than theists.
Thoughts?
That's a pretty broad brush you're using.
I have to disagree with you. Just because atheists don't subscribe to the existence of a deity doesn't mean they are emotionally stronger than theists. Being an atheist doesn't give a person exclusivity in the emotions department.
