And where does he get married ? Will it be in a church , temple , mosque ..

Answer 1

Marriage ceremonies are irrelevant to many atheists. It is simply a civil institution that has been hijacked by xians. If 2 people love each other then their commitment is between them alone. No need to involve the government or the church.

As for a funeral, I feel that it will be helpful to my loved ones to get a sense of closure but for me I could care less. I have asked for cremation and a small gathering to remember me.

Answer 2

An atheist's body can be burried or cremated, they generally don't care too much. Atheists are generally married by civil celebrants, often outdoors but they can be married in a church and/or by a priest if they like. Some atheists just feel churches are a more traditional place to be married.

Answer 3

That is up to the individual. Many atheists prefer to leave land for the living and opt for cremation or being donated to science. I'm not an atheist, but I am considering the body farn in TN.

Often they will opt for a Justice of the Peace wedding. Again, this is up to the individual, but most do not want to water down their vows to their life partner with what they consider to by mythological mumbo-jumbo.

Answer 4

There isn't a single answer to these questions. I went along with what my wife wanted, a non-denominational ceremony. Others just go for the court signing and leave it at that. When he/she dies, what happens to the body is either determined by their own final wishes or by the family. There isn't a uniform rite or method for atheists.

Answer 5

In both instances, a ceremony can still be held if the person wishes. Usually it's held by a secular humanist celebrants, and not based around committing to god, no hymns, no bible readings, etc.

Weddings would generally not be held in a religious institution, and are typically performed in conference halls or outdoors.

Answer 6

Why is this so called Atheist a 'he'? And, they usually get married in a registry office, which is non religious, or they may choose a church wedding if their partner is religious. Atheists cna choose to be burried or cremated. It doesn't have to be a religious affair and have hymns and prayers said over it.

Answer 7

Got married in a church. My wife is agnostic. When I die, I will be cremated and no religious ceremony will be done.

Answer 8

There are a variety of humanistic ceremonies available to help people decide what they would like to do. However, there's no organized group telling anyone how to do it. Atheism allows for freedom of choice and expression in these ritualistic observances.

Answer 9

as quickly as I have been given married, i grew to become right into a Mormon and he grew to become into an atheist. We on no account suggested faith and that i had the liberty to do as i wanted in that area. thankfully, i grew to become into on my way out of the religion on the time. We have been married with the aid of a Mormon bishop and we had a candy hippie-variety wedding ceremony with daisies, empire robes and massive floppy hats. we are nevertheless married. @>}----}---- advert

Answer 10

True atheists are preserved after death by taxidermy. Look at Lenin's body in Red Square. Now that's a true blue atheist!
