That atheists don't believe in an afterlife.
That is true of most atheists though...
If by life you mean being part of the biological ecosystem then yes.
I was thinking of Buddhists who worship no god but believe in reincarnation. I also have friends who claim to be atheists yet believe there is an afterlife in a higher dimension.
My personal belief is that the last state of the biological computer we call a brain becomes our eternity. Religion is designed to make that last thought a hopeful one.
I mean, we decompose into nutrients and technically with our decomposition, our nutrients enter the soil and we become part of the cycle.
In like a spiritual way? Then you are not an atheist, just a hipster christian
So because they believe in life after death, they believe in Christ?
What after life do some atheists believe in? How do they get there?
