If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid."
    @Subteigh Do you have a guess as to George Eliot's type within Delta?
    I agree with this quote %100 but I want to emphasize the conclusion is to live a good life, not that God doesn't exist

    Sure, it's more of an argument for why living atheistically is morally OK, not for why atheism is "true." Like what I quoted from Subteigh, the point is that Delta might not care so much about the philosophical aspects like whether atheism is literally true--these things are unprovable, after all. Delta is more interested about the practical aspects like how to live one's life.
