Atheism and happiness
July 2, 2014 at 5:01 pm
Do you think being an atheist (it doesn't matter if you are an agnostic or gnostic) enhances or diminishes your chances of being a happy human being? Does believing in god/afterlife increase your happiness? Is there a conflict between knowing the truth and believing what makes you happier?

Personally being an atheist made it difficult to me to be happy, considering I'm aware of reality and I don't believe in fairy-after-life-tales, but I'm still trying to reverse the process.

I'd like to hear all of you guys' thoughts on this.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
