Because I´m not afraid of death, finitism and randomness of the Universe. The need to sofocate those fears are the major reason for the creation of the concept of gods, imo.


so you think religious people are afraid of death?

Buddhism has no GOD's and atheism is about being pantheist which is the same as Buddhism

it is the same. A belief in and need for transcendence  as a psychological shield against the horror of the finite. 

no its not as you are still a part of whatever is there not looking for what outside it

calling urself atheist send out the wrong message and spreads ignorance


you need to elaborate on your arguments beyond "no its not!". Of course all religious are based on the fear of death, isnt it that the promise of all of them? to transcend death?

atheism = a-theism, theism from theos, "God". Areligious would be a more fitting term, I agree. 

atheism - no god,no consequences,no heaven,no hell

deism - god,heaven,hell,consequences

pantheism - no god,consequence,no heaven,no hell,reincarnations depending on karma
