Same for the ones around here. Except for communists, the atheists are people who rather dwell on the simple pleasures of life. They are not bothered with anything else, and they disregard any other notions around them.

I've never understood this: why wouldn't one want to enjoy the pleasures of life, especially when one is of a mind that it's the life that we get? Where's the negative connotation? What's wrong with enjoying yourself?

Happily, to myself and a lot of other atheists, examining those "other notions" happen to be a part of those pleasures that we enjoy. Intellectual pleasure is still pleasure.
