Lyoko_Alchemist Ok i know it's your belifs, but being atheist doesn't mean you don't believe in an afterlife. My friend (Who I talk about alot concering this stuff) who'd explained the atheist belifs to me descibed it in laymens terms as the "religion" or lack there of, that caters to your needs without restriction, except, that you do not believe in a higher force. (A.k.a God) Which would under normal circumstance remove the afterlife from the picture, correct? Unless said person wishes to believe in an afterlife ruled by no one, or seen to their ideals. So it varies from Atheist to Atheist i assume. Sorry it's a common misconception i see, my need to debunk couldn't hold. I know you asked this forever ago, but I haven't visited the thread in a while. In case no one answered your question in the past three months here's my answer.
Atheism is the disbelief in a god or higher power. It doesn't necessarily mean a person doesn't believe in the afterlife. I'm suspecting my co-workers don't know this, but they did know my stance on the afterlife from previous discussions. I guess they were just wondering why I'm not a thieving, conniving, menace to society since I feel I'm just going to rot away after death, and will never have to answer to god.
Also some people may believe that you have to answer to God before going to heaven or hell, so they assume that if you don't believe in god, that you don't believe in heaven or hell.
I wonder what they would think of reincarnation. I would pick it as more of a possibility than heaven and hell.
