Atheists and agnotics, do you hope God exist?

Agnostic here.
OH HELL YEAH! I always hope and pray [irony] that God Exists and there is an afterlife. ALWAYS.
I have a vested interest in both cases.

Spiritual but not religious, new age and omnist
Are you serious or is this answer irony?

Both.

What I do is ironical in nature, I am basically praying that my hopes that God and afterlife exists are true.
Two different questions that imo are only loosely related to each other. If a higher power exists, it seems pretty callous to me. But sure, an afterlife sounds good
I don't hope for gods.
Their existence seems preposterous.

No. I'm not sure what god or higher power entails in the abrahamic sense.
No. If I believed or understood enough to say it makes sense rebirth (complete understanding) or reincarnation (union with god), I'd probably say one of these two. Insofar, it wouldn't be life after death but just continued life to learn more and wisen up until I am at a present state of being. Whether that means emptiness or union I don't know.
Hell, heaven, and all I don't understand that. When I hear people talk about it regardless of the denomination and religion I think about the movies (honestly). I can't associate it to reality and what I know of it.
I don't give it much thought.
How much time do you spend hoping that leprechauns exist (or not)?

How much can leprechauns benefit someone and/or prove to be overall more useful as compared to God and Afterlife [if they exist]?

What's up with the darn leprechauns examples (to the invisible public)?
Always had a pet peeve over that. That and spaghetti monster.

Is there anyone who believes in some kind of after life, such as reincarnation but does not believe in any God(s)?
No. To both questions.

I'm attracted to the idea of some eternal and pervasive something/essence/unity (I don't know the right word) that is perfectly simple and infinitely mysterious. If that's God then, yes I hope God exists.
The capricious nutter most theists project onto the world is hopefully not the case.
Afterlife would be a bonus but it makes no sense to me.

Some kind of continuation after death I wouldn't mind. If a God comes along with that, I guess that is ok too.

It would be nice.
The chridtmas story is
sooo nice, it makes me cry if i let it,
But, I just totally dont believe it.
As the Bard put it,
"If wishes was fishes
We'd all eat pie."
From an atheist perspective, they are essentially equivalent. Mythical creatures that are supposed to make things *so* much better if they only existed.
They make for fun stories and jokes.

I neither hope for nor against a deity existing. It just seems irrelevant to me.
As for an afterlife, except for the idea of living a bit longer, I don't really see the benefit.
I certainly do NOT want an *eternal* afterlife. That would be torture.
