not really. to you guys it's a false sense of security, but to others it's a true sense of living.

Officially it's not factual but this sounds like the exeption not taken into consideration when creating this rule.

nothing magical happens during your life, why would something magical happen after you die?

not really. to you guys it's a false sense of security, but to others it's a true sense of living. I don't believe in God just because my parents, grandparents and the bible says so. I see the world for how it is and I see evidence of God through life and experience.

In an atheists POV you've contradicted yourself there, how you see the world is dicatated by your upbringing and learning ipso facto...you DO believe in God just because of your parents.
I'm not one to shit on someone's beliefs, just thought I'd point that out so you'd understand at least the other side of the argument.

I was speaking hypothetically, in reality my parents never really told me to be a good catholic and I never read the bible.. When I asked about religion my mom just told me "Just be happy." And even if they told me to believe in God and read the bible that doesn't mean they can dictate how I view the world. There are many athiests out there that grew up with religious parents and obviously their view of the world wasn't dictated by their upbringing and learning(as you said). I don't believe my view on religion has been tainted by my family's beliefs.

imma have to agree with sparegz. my cousin and i are the only atheists in a family full of catholics and a couple chrstians here and there.
