Why is life worth living as an atheist?

[Annik]

To be honest I never tried them. There is no rule it just seems artificial to me when i imagine depending on them to be happy, sort of like ignoring the issue and treating the symptoms, i dunno. Whatever works for others is none of my business.

As far as this goes, "happy pills" are just neurochemical balancers. They're meant to get your neurotransmitters in order so you can continue to lead you life as normal. There is also therapy to treat the "issue" with the pills goes after the "symptoms". Some folks don't need the pills and some folks don't need the therapy, but you shouldn't let something like that keep you from being happy. Pills and therapy are just tools.



But life's meaning is a question for philosophy. To me, life is what you make of it (in simplest terms). We're all entitled to choice, including the choice to make your own meanings from life. I see from your OP that you think a little differently. That's perfectly fine. My philosophy has helped me deal with a lot more than these questions and it's given me an incredible sense of freedom and responsibility. I hope you'll fine a philosophy that you'll feel equally positive about.
