I believe each person's time on earth is limited and when you die you are worm food and you don't get to see the people you care about any more. So you must really cherish the time spent while you are here, and make it that much better.
People tend to believe that to be atheist means to believe in nothing, as to a person without a purpose or belief or outlook on the world. I think it is an unfortunate stereotype for the "believer" and can be a closed door to a flow of thought that should stay open.
PS: Any atheist should have an open mind as well.
