Atheists are not the only people in touch with reality. There are quite a few competing versions of un-believers. All of them, just like religion, are only theories.

  THEIST = belief in the existence of a god or gods
  A= no or non
  Put them together for ATHEIST = no belief in the existence of god or gods.

One should never argue religion --- it serves no useful purpose. Ya're not gonna convert an atheist to anything but money, pleasures, and what they can obtain. If they wanna be an atheist, who am I to change their minds ---- I got my own soul to worry about -- let them worry about their's.

"Your petitioners are Atheists and they define their beliefs as follows. An Atheist loves his fellow man instead of god. An Atheist believes that heaven is something for which we should work now - here on earth for all men together to enjoy.
An Atheist believes that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction, and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it and enjoy it.
An Atheist believes that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment.

He seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man.
He wants an ethical way of life. He believes that we cannot rely on a god or channel action into prayer nor hope for an end of troubles in a hereafter.
He believes that we are our brother's keepers; and are keepers of our own lives; that we are responsible persons and the job is here and the time is now."

Atheism is about me me me and now now now and love each other. but we all are going to die and while we are here we all have a choice and owe it to our souls to search the truth.We can choose to live with God here and after dying or live without him here and die 2 times one physical and another spiritual.God is King and all will know the truth one day mark my words.

  Atheism is about not believing in god(s). That's it.
  There are atheists who are selfish and there are atheists who are selfless. Need I point out that the top two single largest monetary donations EVER made were made by atheist's Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
  You seem to think everyone should think as YOU but atheism is me me? LOL.
