Atheists are miserable.

Atheists are miserable.

I hear this a lot from the religious. They like to claim that we're some kind of empty shells that just sloth around without some kind of religion to motivate us. I have depression and anxiety (Thanks, Momma! <3 ), but I have to say that it's much easier to overcome now. I've never felt so happy, alive and free.

I'm late to the party, but regarding the OP:

After I left Christianity I never again suffered from depression, anxiety or absolute misery the way I did when I was serving their self-absorbed dictator. That says more to me than anything else.
