Atheism

As an Atheist you are forced to account for your actions in life, not in the afterlife. You are forced to live in reality, not fantasy.

A religious zealot prepares his whole life for the moment after death, waisting the precious time he has here, and thinking only of what he believes will come.

An Atheist, in the moment right before the end, may look back on his life and be proud of what he has left to the world, knowing he has used his time wisely.
