Yeah, @Polymath and @Moonjuice, it is exhilarating to accept truth and get out of false beliefs. That is what I felt when I abandoned Gods and superstitions.

I’m curious how atheists emotionally deal with the prospect of death.

According to this Pew Center article ...

Among other non-Christians, however, beliefs that there are places of eternal reward and punishment after death are not as widely held. Roughly half or fewer of Hindus, Buddhists and Jews believe in heaven. And roughly a third or less of Buddhists, Hindus, and Jews believe in the concept of hell.​

I assume that atheists (and agnostics) deal with death in much the same way as those referenced above.

Parenthetically, it's rather funny that, according to the chart, more people believe in (hope for) heaven than hell. :D

Whenever I say to atheists that Jesus resurrection is phony, they become aggressive towards me.

I doubt that is true, given that most are likely to think that Jesus was probably just an ordinary human, if he existed as denoted.

They tell me to watch my mouth. They say I bully christianity. christianity is a concept, it's not even a person. I bully a concept.

I prefer to just let them (all religious beliefs) get on with it, and will mostly only criticise them when they advocate or do anything that I see as harmful, especially to those who don't have such beliefs.

Isn't it funny, people think concepts are alive or something, and I am not allowed to criticize concepts? Should I bow in front of concepts too?
