Maybe we should all spend more time drinking.

Really, though, I am much happier now as an atheist than I ever was as a Christian.  Worrying about people going to hell was not a fun thing.  Frankly, only a sociopath could be happy about such things.

There is less to worry about as an atheist than as a theist.  The ordinary things of the world were there when I was a Christian, and so they were a concern, but there was also all that god stuff to worry about.  Life is simpler, easier, and better without believing superstitious nonsense.
