Well we certainly don't live our life waiting for death or expecting judgement from the intergalactic dictator, we don't live our lives thinking that this is only the trial period or thinking that the best part of existence (heaven) isn't even part of this life. We don't spend our lives on our knees in prayer, or accepting ancient ideals passed down hundreds of generations, we don't spend our lives foolishly thinking that an ancient book had some kind of insight or waiting for rapture... I'd like to think we atheists as a whole (though i claim not to speak for anyone) like to look at life as an adventure; something to be lived and experienced....
But most importantly: We live our lives in wonderment of the amazing, truly divine master:
