Atheism doesn't require anyone to live in absolutes though. I'm an atheist and I still allow myself to wonder. Religion nor atheism provide absolutes. There may be something ...somewhere...after we die. There may not. The freedom to not live in absolutes, worrying over an afterlife that may or may not exist, is simply awesome. Atheism set me free from absolute thinking. I think what I want. If there is a higher power, so be it. But the beauty of how I see things now is that I no longer need to know.
Let go of your need to know, and you will see atheism in an entirely new light.
