regret the things they could have done in this life that they did not do...I would like to know exactly what things you are referring to (that Christians would regret not doing). Thanks.

Sleep in on Sunday morning. That's the biggest one.

Well... take the time spent reading the bible and read classics, science, and other books. Increase one's individual knowledge of the real world versus an imaginary one.
The money you gave in tithing could go to support a family through school, rather than taking care of a pastor... or a Vatican.
Time you spend in meetings and church could be spent with loving family members, caring for friends in need, or allowing yourself some healthy recreational time.
Time spent praying could be spent working with habitat for humanity, or effecting real change for the better in the world.
This is the type of thing I mean when I say such a thing.

I don't know. Maybe they mean things like having sex without feeling guilty about it, or going to shopping malls to shop instead of to proselytize.
Or maybe they mean things like refusing to shake the pastor/rabbi's hand when you know what a wretched bigoted pr!ck he is, and not needing to feel bad about it for one second.
'Course, if you really want to know exactly what they mean, you could always, y'know, ask them directly.
EDIT: Allow me to clarify -- I should have said "you could ask them personally." I meant that if any particular person has made this claim, then that's the person to ask about it.

Perhaps they are saying that if God doesn't exist then the time spent in church etc could have been better spent doing other things, you know, time with friends, playing sport etc.

Atheist claim to have their own morality, independent of God, but clearly there are things that they do which they think we are not doing.

Perhaps working towards improving things instead of praying for a god to fix them? That's the first thing that comes to mind for me.
