To be honest I think that way of looking at life (as in the atheist view of when you die, that's it!) actually makes you cherish life more. This is your one shot to make a difference to humanity and enjoy your existence and consciousness. Don't waste it!

I'm not necessarily saying this directly to you, but I want to point out that it's illogical to generalize belief. No matter how much people will say that they are a part of a belief system or a school of thought, there is never complete uniformity. Just because one Christian is a racist doesn't mean they all are. And with atheists, there is far less uniformity. Just because all atheists disregard the existence of a God as defined by religious texts/preachers, doesn't mean any of their other beliefs are uniform. Pretty much the only thing that unites atheists is that they believe there is no God. Beyond that, an atheist can be a fatalist, solipsist, nihilist, humanist etc. all the way to the moon.

True, but I was just using the generalisation to get my point across.
