    I'm not being judgemental. But being an atheist, not having kids, not having a family, hoping to earn money and get all the fun in the world is a very typical mindset most people get in their early young age.
    Being non judgemental and started to judge 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Are You too?
    I'd say I ain't no %100 atheists, but maybe 90%. Welp, In terms of not being an aithiest,
    If I could pull off something good out of Buddhism, I'd go ahead and take that into the account.
    For an instance; the "Everything Changes" Policy. According to Buddhist philosophy, that's the universal truth.
    I'd take that into the account because I feel like that makes sense.
    But in most cases, I don't really need a religion for that. I just go for whatever makes sense.
    Then again, would that make the case that I'm still an atheist?

    I recently watched a lecture by Prof Asanga Thilakarathne where he said that both Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta are atheistic schools. I'm fairly certain people have different definitions for what "atheism" and what theism is. I think he was using academic definition (I dunno if there is such a thing as academic definition).

    IIRC non belief in a "creator deity" is the criteria he used. So in that sense most Buddhists are atheists. Therefore I think you can continue to identify an atheist and still incorporate certain religious teachings (bar creator God) you find beneficial to you and others.
