Nothing, as long as you aren't bitter and twisted to those who do believe.
Everyone has a right to believe what they like. Everyone also has a moral obligation to be tolerate of others beliefs.
PS
I have to admit though, reading all the above answers from christians turns me off a bit.

Aren't you worried about the some of the answers you get without any sort of decent explanation? It's called 'blind' faith. Atheists or the ones that you see on here or you meet are usually a 'closed book' on the reasons behind their reasoning. They can't effectively explain their position as being any main one. It's all over the place! I am a Christian and I also happen to have atheist friends. "Give it up to the universe" they say of their problems. I love my friends, but it is typical of the non depth of their reasoning. They (atheists) leave it up to Christians to explain themselves while all they feel they have to do is say "well I don't believe in anything". Well they do - it's either creation or evolution and seeing as creation implies a God, they have to be of the opinion that by random chance we all came into being. Well for most, please explain what part of evolution is so convincing beyond just a statement? Christians have an obligation to explain a specifc message to hopefully give an understanding. Atheists feel they do not, their reasons can be anything they like and be different the next day and I can't help but wonder if their reasoning is not thoroughly examined. Nothing seems consistant just like the Theory of Evolution, in fact unstable is the word, as they toss their views about. It's their choice, they know of Christianity and as a Christian it is not my job to create conversions or Bible bash people. Personally I don't look down on anyone, because a) I was an unbeliever the agnostic type and blinded by what the world told me (did't get off my butt to see anything else) and b)one day any one of them might be a child of Christ and be a great one at that. To spread this terrific undertanding is my job and what they do with it is their choice as ithas been from the start. It is my hope that they get motivated to do some research. As I said, I was like this at one stage, but so happened that I really got stuck into Evolution vs Creation and I found, and still find, after years of sifting through information, that Creation stacks up. The next realisation was that we are accountable to God. Have a real good look at a bee or an ant or a tree, whatever - when you get to understand the complexity of just these things, you have to concede the design is truly impeccable - faultless.

Atheists are historically the most persecuted group above all others. Until the US was established, publicly claiming to be an atheist would have most likely resulted in execution.
Nothing wrong with being an atheist.

Being an atheist disturbs the fantasy world of believers - believers are afraid that atheists might induce them to start thinking and then the whole fantasy world of religion will come tumbling down. And all believers would get back in return is sanity and self respect.

Did ya see that movie 21 grams?Well it wasn't about drugs.According to science,when a person dies their body weighs 21grams less.than when they were alive in the flesh.So you are dealing with two different things the flesh and the spirit.Or the soul.I have questioned God all my life and the most reasonable thing I can tell you is that he really does exist.Where does that 21grams go?That is what we need to be sure of!I don't know of any other plan that makes any sense but God's plan for us. Whats your plan?Can you tell me that God does not exist and prove it? Can you breathe without God?Try it and let me know!There is alot wrong with being an atheist.You are missing out on the most wonderful things in life.

What is good about it? Is your life happy? Are you fulfilled? Are you loving? Do people like you? Do you like yourself? If you find yourself in a mess that you can't get out of ,where do you turn? Are you depressed or have thoughts of killing yourself? This is where I was before finding God. Drugs will numb you for a time but there is something better, the joy that comes from the Lord!

Atheists don't blindly obey religious leaders, don't submit money to churchess, and don't allow pedophile priests and pederast pastors access to their kids. That's what's wrong with us, not anything we do.
Bravo to "Andy H", using a *hollyweird movie* as "proof" of a point. 9_9 The "21 grams" nonsense is just that, nonsense. No serious scientst talks about it.

You have the right to believe what you choose so there's nothing wrong with it. Some people think any religion/belief is wrong if you're not what they are.
