RE: Atheists ONLY - Are you less happy now that you are an atheist?

I'm definitely happier because I don't have to worry about being accountable to a God that doesn't exist. Even as a religious person I saw myself as much more rational than the people I was around (I never spent anytime around vocal or even "out" atheists at that time), and now as an atheist I see a real fruition of that view of myself. That and I feel much more comfortable with myself identifying as an atheist because of my personality.
Heaven is where fantasy meets hedonism. I'm on my way to where cynicism meets hedonism. If you'd like to come with me, bring something because you're not tagging along for free.

Seems to be a theme
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
