Atheism helps us to see reality as it actually is, without the mental filters of superstition preventing us from directly experiencing it. Atheism opens us to experience our selves, without the debasing idea that we are innately sinful. Atheism allows us to experience true interpersonal love, without any imaginary supernatural intervention. Atheism gives us the freedom to think for ourselves, to construct our own meanings. We each can choose what we think has value. Atheism shows us that we can gain meaning by seeking to make our world a better place, for ourselves and our posterity. Atheism teaches us to take responsibility for our behaviors in the here and now, not in an imaginary afterlife. Atheism lets us see that we have to make choices about our future. No big daddy god is going to protect us from bad decisions. Atheism teaches us to treasure this moment, this life, and this world — because we realize that it’s all we have.
