Does atheism inspire people?

[Annik]

"Make it count" basically means to leave a positive impression of yourself after you're gone i.e. create/do something memorable, fight for a cause you passionately believe in, affect and treasure the lives of those you love, and your life will have meaning, purpose, however you wish to label it. Constructing a deity to do all that for you is a cop-out. Your sense of worth should come from who you are as a person, not what you believe in.

But how do you define "positive impression" in a meaningless universe, any action you take is neither positive or negative, its just a meaningless neutral action.

That's really up to you. Overall, our planet will die, our sun will die, our universe will die. Everything we are is temporary, you see. My positive influence is to be remembered fondly by my children, maybe be in the dedications of a couple books and brand something important. Also, I want to contribute to society, make the world better.
