Why do atheists have funerals?
Why do worshippers of atheism get dressed up in suits, dress up the CORPSE ITSELF in a suit, hold moments of silence/reflection, all in a formal ceremony for what the atheist religion dictates is nothing more than decomposing matter?
Theists' belief of man's transcendent worth answers why they do.
What is the atheists' answer?
kill yourself
Tradition is reason enough.
People aren't rational.
Especially not religious people.
You are confusing atheism with nihilism.
You don't have to be religious to respect customs and symbolism.
nice bait

Atheists are like silly edgy teenagers that never grew up.
They want to be above the rest of society by believing in nothing, but they are not above their human nature.
That is the reason for their inconsistent behaviour, like funerals, or why they are so quick to stick to any ideology that presents them easy answers and fills the void of religion, like many sj atheists do, or why they end going for big government because it fills the role of a provider god they still need to believe in.
This.
I'm convinced a lot of atheists are simply atheists simply because their parents never bothered raising them with religion in mind. Also besides tradition, culture, and customs-- there's the aspect of paying respects to and seeing a loved one a final time.
>why they are so quick to stick to any ideology that presents them easy answers and fills the void
isn't that exactly why people are religious?
