I think that depends for each atheist. Meaning in my life is all about having a good paying job to earn money for the family, being able to do most of the things I want (this of course includes enjoying anime
) and steadily pursuing my dreams.
A belief that doesn't help me reach my goals, it's a belief that I don't need.
*used to be a Catholic but I've thrown religion out of my life years ago after graduating college.
