How Do Atheists Find Meaning in Life - Stories from our Community

Is life meaningless without a god? Do we need religion to find purpose in life? See what others think or share your own views.

I believe I find purpose and meaning to my life because I've never got brainwashed into religion but instead found the empowerment of truth through knowledge. I was a curious kid growing up and had a lot of questions and wanted answers.

How do I give my life a meaning?

I find meaning always in the love I share, the people I help, the work I do diligently and the time I spend with loved ones while we all live.

Firstly, I think there is no 'afterlife'. I believe death is the same as being born into this world, where most people don't remember much about their early childhood or being a toddler as well or as strongly as they do when they're grown up. Life suddenly 'happens', death is the same.

With regard to eternal life, there really is nothing to be concerned about. The Universe is infinite in space and time. However, if it was infinite in the types of things ​that can exist then there would be infinite variability and not the discrete types that we observe.
