Do you realise how many great experiences you are missing out on? life is before death, try and remember that.
I've been lots of places in the United States. I've been to Europe, Mexico and Japan. After visiting all those places I realized the only thing different is the foliage, temperature and weather. What am I missing out on? Superstition and fantasy? To say we are missing out on the joys of life is presumptive. Most of us used to believe in a sky hero and once defended the fictional concept as fervently as you are needlessly wasting your time trying to convince us here.
You see pretty things and meet up with like minded people who think like you. So what? Again every religion makes the same arguments.
"Life is pretty"
"My book says"
"Lots of people believe what I do"
Your selfish attitude of "look at what you are missing out on" isn't about helping others, it is your own narcissistic projection of your own desires. You like what you believe, we get that. So do Buddhists and Jews and Christians and Hindus and they too would argue the same thing.
What you like believing isn't the same as the ability to demonstrate the credibility of the position you hold. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
How dare you presume that because someone does not hold the religion you do that somehow they cant have emotions or feel joy.
