But when you free yourself from the shackles of stupid myths you can act according to how the world really is and not as part of some "gods plan".Some atheists may feel this way, but it isn't a necessary consequence of the freedom that comes from being an atheist.
As an atheist with one short life, life becomes more precious.

Plus, some atheists choose to go to a club or church on a specific day of the week. Being atheist doesn't free you from such chosen obligations.
