A disregard for natural law, is the biggest difference in my observations.

@AkioTsukino The sunshine, enriches the plant life by its cycles, as the animal kingdom follows a simillar pattern of with the end brings a new. Its essentially the cycles of life, that nothing is forever, yet anew is a part of the cycle, and is the same as the old.

The sunrise
Natural law : the sunrise is an illusion
The belief that the and moon move around the earth was proven to be false. We don’t know all there is about gravity, but it works .

@DocSavage What a strange, Doc. I can't piece together what exactly this means.
Let's break it down.
Okay. What about it?
It's also a common expression, it has been in several languages for thousands of years. Still is. Like 4 corners of the earth or the foundation of democracy. Desperate skeptics have a difficult time with figurative speech, parable, illustration, hyperbolic intensifiers. Language. That's why it's important to define things when trying to communicate with them.

@checkoutanytime That's pretty much paraphrasing the Bible.

You’re asking people what’s the difference between Atheism and religion as if it were a complex question, it isn’t.
Belief in god comes with a lot of excess baggage. Religious dogma, traditions, rituals depending on the faith and how much you believe.
Atheist , don’t believe in a god, so we don’t need to obey his rules or take him into account for what we say or do. We can live the same basic lifestyle, we’re not going to spend all our time sinning. But at the end of the day, we’re not going to worry about being judged by anyone for anything. That’s pretty much it. I don’t know what else you expected in terms of worldviews .
