Like the theists who followed Jim Jones, David Koresh, the Solar Temple and other suicidal theists and theistic terrorists of history?

Rofl Jimmy says atheists are morons for not committing mass suicide... oh my I'm gonna die laughing.
It's because atheists are not mindless zombies, they're independent thinking individuals that do not rely on anyone or anything to give value to their existences.
And to JulianDinkins who thinks Hitler and the Nazi's were atheist.
"Though far from an atheist, Hitler was a Roman Catholic apostate."
"Elsewhere in the same political autobiography, Hitler wrote, "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."

For them, Where they live, what they live is REALITY. No mythlogical world have any existance to lure them away from this world.
Secondly, They usualy do not have any common ground to take any such mass decision as they do not share any Common Faith as theists do.

Atheists commit suicide one at a time because nobody agrees with them.

Quite simply, because atheists are dependent on independent thought, not dogmatic following.
Anybody who applies independent rational thought generally won't get caught up in such idiotic and quixotic ceremonies.

Those were cults, atheists are too smart to fall for that sh*t.
(and to the dumb@ss above: Nazis were Christians who killed jews and gays, get a clue.)

Why would someone who doesn't believe in an afterlife commit suicide? It doesn't make any sense.

Because atheists aren't as crazy as religious fanatics?

maybe because they don't have something to die for like an idol or a belief about a higher being. real atheists have no reason to do so.

Because they believe in being rational and they don't believe in an afterlife. So if they killed themselves, they'd be irrational and be going nowhere.
