Do you have the same opinions?

More important than "why do atheists cry at funerals", is the question: why do christians cry at funerals?
Are they so convinced that their loved ones are going to hell?
Or, if they are going to heaven, the funeral should be a celebration, a happy occasion... why do they make it a sad event? Why do they cry?
Everything else is just hypocrisy on the part of whoever wrote that.

I'd say that I'd cry because I'd miss them. But after some time, I'd be happy--really--because... They're dead! They won't suffer in Earth any more. I'm not saying anything like "heaven". I'm just saying that he'd feel nothing--no pleasure, no pain--because he/she's dead.
As for your question, living in a really religious country means some laughable experiences. When my grandfather died, my family had someone who would recite prayers for many days after he died. Then they joined that praying woman overnight, begging for my grandfather not to go to hell, et cetera. It was crazy. I was already an Atheist that time, so whenever I think of that incident, I think of that praying woman wearing a Superman costume, except she had a "P" in place of an "S", for "Pamahiin" (which means "superstitious beliefs" in my language). Too bad I had to see those moments--they're funny, anyway!
