As atheist do believe it makes no difference how you live your life? Another words a person we may consider evil verses some one the works for the good of man kind.
To me, to think there is nothing more than this life, then Solomon was right when he said "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."
I disagree 100%. There is, in fact, nothing more than this life, and it is quite meaningful.
An infinite afterlife does not provide meaning. In fact, it removes any meaning from life, because time is not precious, neither is joy. Suffering matters not either.
We are hard-wired to fear our own demise. Imagining an afterlife may help some overcome this fear, but my experience is that the faithful then become afraid of losing their faith.
