Like there must be a reason you die and a reason u are born. Since life has a meaning and a reason of cause. If you believe in Evolution or The BigBang. What would be the reason for them 2 theories be?

Like all my fellow athiests it's to kill babies and sodomise young girls.

Or, you know, just try and live life to the best of my ability like everyone else does without being a pious **** about it?

I'd rather be able to live my life free then be controlled,enslaved and spied on by a supernatural being.

Life is something to enjoy, of course religious people won't understand this because they're under the delusion that their life belongs to someone else.

To enjoy life, to be a good person, to help and bring happiness to others. Basically not all that different from someone who is religious.

Deities not required for salvation, actually. Buddhism very much approves of the belief in deities, it just doesn't assert that they are necessary.

I agree..I use to be a believer in Jesus ect...BUT found that it just didnt work for me any longer. I also could care less about what someone else believes. It just dont really matter to me. Im not like a lot of people out there, I dont try OR want to control someone elses life or beliefs..They honestly have no life and need reassurance if they do..

Life doesnt have a meaning. When you are born you arent giving a list of things to achieve. You live your own life as you choose to.

Its not the core of the religion is my point. If thats what the OP is asserting, the idea that serving God gives life meaning, then Buddhism is just like being an athiest.

No, not really. Buddhism is still very much a religion, but instead of "Salvation through Jesus" it is "Enlightenment through the practice of the Buddha's teachings." And there is "faith" (the trusting kind) in Buddhism as well, but rather it is placed in the teachings and one's own abilities to reach the goal. Atheism is merely the lack of belief in God, gods or the supernatural. It does not prescribe a mode of living, nor does it require the participating in rituals or mind-exploration practices (i.e. meditation or prayer). Buddhism is a mostly non-theistic religion (some Mahayana sects like Pure Land are borderline monotheistic), and is not synonymous with general atheism.

I know its a religion, thats not my point. But i thought the OP was stipulating that you must believe in a deity to give meaning to your life. Hence Buddhism would be as much as atheism.

Everything has a meaning. No but your born for a reason , what will be the point of living a life when your gonna die anyways ? obvs but thats not the point , the point is theres a reason why we are here, a reason why theres a MALE and FEMALE and a reason why we die .

As an athiest, I find the point of living to be enjoying life and all it has to offer, instead of sh***ing bricks about what might or might not happen once I'm dust.

Life should be seen for what it is, not what you want/pretend it to be. Take this however you wish. I'm not atheist, just human.

There's only a reason if you believe in something with a grand purpose... otherwise the reason always boils down to: "Because..." Your view is infantile.

there is no point you just a bunch of rearranged particles. your life has no value nor does anyone else. Do what you want and what feels good. Nothing you do really matter because your just a bunch of random mistakes.

If you'd be more specific, all of your questions can be answered.
