I dont think it is similar, since you think no supreme being is listneing. I guess you'd say " ok I'll marry another one" without any grief at all, if the dead is your wife. After all what is the point of grieving, death is natural accurance for the living thing.
A Moslem would react differently since He has God to communicate.

Are you suggesting that atheists are emotionless automatons?

Death IS a natural occurance for the living.

My wife has just made a good point.

Athiests would tend to feel the loss MORE because we dont believe that there is an afterlife, we dont have the emotional cushioning that the theist or in the case of my wife spiritualist believes.

So fucking what?

If anything happened to any of my loved ones I'd be devastated.

We dont need god to be fully functional people.
