Where do atheists go after life?

Will we be reunited with loved ones and friends? Will we meet as atheists out there?

There’s no way to be absolutely certain, but all the available evidence indicates that your answers are: Nowhere, no, and no.

First, I’m going to go to someplace pretty hot, and then I’m going to go to someplace fairly cool. The crematorium and then somewhere in the mountains.

I won’t really be around to experience it, however…

Which answer is simpler: a) we die and that’s all, folks, or b) we enter some after-life realm that’s been described in contradictory ways by different people, none of whom have presented any evidence for their particular version of events? One person’s idea of heaven isn’t necessarily the same as another’s.

Being mortal means that when we die, we are no more. People who think they are immortal are bizarre.

Exactly the same place believers go: the crematorium.

No, there’ll be no reunions, no meetings – that’s what 'after life’ means: it all stops. None of us will know a thing about it, as it is our brain that allows us to know or experience anything, and the stopping of the brain is part of the very definition of death. It will be an eternal nothingness, exactly the same as the nothingness before we were born. Nothing. But most especially: nothing to fear.
