It has been said that science is concerned with truth, politics with justice, and religion with hope. Atheists believe that they are realists and that death is final, with no hope of continuation of a spiritual life afterwards. Nevertheless, of the millions of atheists in the world, there would no doubt be some who, when faced with their final hours, choose to hope for an afterlife. Religion does offer comfort in times of need, and there is no reason to deny an atheist this comfort just because there is no objective evidence that this hope will be fulfilled.

What are some atheist worldviews?

Atheism is not an organised movement, in the way that a religion would be. It is simply the belief that no god exists, or at least that there is no reason to believe that a god exists. Beyond that, different atheists are free to hold such worldviews as they wish. However, there are some secondary beliefs that most atheists would probably subscribe to by not believing in a creator god. If, as atheists believe, there is no God, then the world and all living things were not divinely created. This does not necessarily lead on to believing in evolution, but evolution is the most rational belief for most atheists. So, although it is not necessary to be an atheist to believe in evolution (many religious people also believe in evolution), most atheists would see evolution as part of their worldview. Atheists have no reason to believe that a great flood covered the entire world, or even just the entire Middle East, a few thousand years ago. Nor would they see a rainbow as a message from God. Atheists who have studied elementary science would see the rainbow as no more than a sprectum of light, created in the clouds in just the same way as a rainbow can be created by a prism. Atheists do not believe that the world is destined to end soon. They believe that, barring a nuclear war, the world will continue for millions of years to come.
