I think it's different for everyone, but a lot of people just enjoy life and the people in their life. As a Christian, it's a difficult concept to accept, but people do it.

Enlightened self-preservation.
I'd like to not die any time soon. So I keep going. Seems simple enough.
Along the way, I'm gonna do some bad things, and I'm gonna do some good things. Life's life, ya' know? I try to do more good than bad because it turns out that if you're a decent moral person, most folk are decent moral people back.
I don't operate on belief or faith. I want evidence and facts. Where there are none, I simply don't formulate a hypothesis.

"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days"

i don't believe in anything nothing at all i just don't really care and i am going in life pretty good i love to wake up every morning. You don't have to believe in a fictional character to keep going in life. The truth is no matter what you believe and what you think you know you don't really know until you die so why would you want to spend your whole life or part of your life believing and arguing for something you don't even know is true. Sounds like its a waste of time and life to believe........at least to me.

first of all, Adam and Eve were the first human beings created, top? to respond to your question about the position Cain's spouse got here from, I pose yet another question. How do all of us recognize that God hadn't created human beings too? The Bible not in any respect says...we may be able to in elementary words speculate that God created human beings to boot the unique Adam and Eve. it might want to in elementary words make experience. I invite you to pass to any Church of Christ amenities on some Sunday morning, and only sit and listen. turning out to be a Christian particularly replaced my lifestyles. i'm no longer putting forward it is going to change yours, even though it can make you imagine about some issues. Sorry, to respond to your 2d question...i do not particularly recognize a lot about the Wiccan or Pagan faith, yet that's what it sounds opt to me. EDIT: i do not have each and every of the solutions for you, yet i visit only allow you to recognize that now no one is like what you're describing...the individuals I attend amenities with at the on the spot are not hypocritical. i have self assurance what i have self assurance...that's all i visit assert to you. Oh, and the Baptist church isn't an identical because the Church of Christ. do not choose in holding with only that. i replaced into in elementary words suggesting to you to attempt...I wasn't attempting to remodel you.

I believe in myself because I am really the only person I can control. In regards to religion and people in general, I really don't believe in anything. I'll admit that I am not a trusting person at all. If I was to ever go crazy, I'm sure paranoia would be one of my strongest symptoms.

I explore Buddhist philosophy and other types of philosophy and belief with a completely open mind. Lack of belief in God doesn't equate with nihilism. Quite the opposite in fact-I find more of value in non theistic Buddhism than I ever found in Christianity.

"Faith is believing what you know ain't so."
-- Mark Twain
I believe in what ever has the best available evidence for it at the time. There is absolutely no evidence there is a god. I don't need a sky faerie to keep me going. Life is wonderful all by itself.

For my atheist husband, its me, our three children, his parents, and our friends. Atheists find the same joys in life as theists. The only difference is that they don't believe in (if the atheists don't mind my quoting) "The Magical Man in the Sky".
Please do not make the same mistake as many other strongly-based-faith theists do. Atheists are not joyless, moraless scumbags. Many aren't even so-called "liberals". As George W. Bush said in one of his speeches, "Many of our FINE citizens do not profess any faith at all." (Please don't jump on me if the quote is not completely correct, guys.) You could be sitting next to an atheist at work, school, or even in church and not even be aware of it.

Science, Reason and knowledge that I control my destiny and that I define myself by my choices.
I do what I know is right because it is right, not because I fear the (empty) threat of Hell. I am proud of my accomplishments because they are mine, achieved through hard work and planning, not God's will
BTW this is not a dumb question at all.
