Death and after life take shape to multiple forms in different cultures. To many religions, death is not necessarily the end of life, because their is a "soul" that lives on after your body can no longer. Very much romanticized that sounds very comforting, but like dominant beliefs, there are the skeptics that question the "truth" to what the dominant believes to find true.
In the Atheist culture, their perspective of death and after life is "that all life-forms end in death and the elements of which they are composed return to the air and the Earth to be taken up and recycled in new organisms."(Cornish, K) And to make grounds on other religions, they do so by disproving those who believe their is a "super-natural" by using credible scientific evidence. By like many other religions, coming in to conflict of "which one is more believable", depends on the individual themselves to decide. But even at the most innocent time a human can make decisions without any bias, atheist argue that such strong religion that believe in a super-natural are inevitable of dodging super-natural belief such as God by" perpetrating a colossal fraud or ignorant and gullible people, chiefly through the indoctrination of infants."(Cornish, K) And at the ending points of life, the conscious mind, assumed to be in the brain, dies, so do "you" also cease to exist. Not as comforting as the other religions that promise purity, reincarnation or Heaven, it may seem that religion is the factor that satisfies the vulnerability we encounter with dying. As the athiest culture may find different, that the vulnerability exist because it is not being able to accept death for what it is, but when you come to accept it, "atheist [are] confronted by the matter of how best to spend the available time...worthy of a human person."
