Is the atheist worldview depressing?

I agree, it isn’t. God exists, God does not exist, we don’t know if God exists.

But as we’ve said about 50 times in this thread, that isn’t the definition of atheism. I believe some God exists, or I lack belief that some God exists. That is binary. That is atheism[EverybodyElse].
Maybe you toggle between belief and lack of belief, but at any moment you are in one state or the other.

Schrödinger’s atheist. :slight_smile:

Honestly, the worldview of some (but by no means all) Christians is such that they cannot conceive a life in which G*d plays no part. “You don’t believe in God? How can you possibly be happy/moral/whatever other gift He has given you?” is a question atheists get all too often. To my mind it points to shortcomings in the philosophy of the questioner, not the one questioned.
