Under an atheist worldview, there is no objective meaning or purpose in life.[3] Through Jesus Christ, Christianity offers objective meaning and purpose to life.[4] See also: Atheism and purpose
In December of 2003, the University of Warwick reported:
| “ | Dr. Stephen Joseph, from the University of Warwick, said: "Religious people seem to have a greater purpose in life, which is why they are happier. Looking at the research evidence, it seems that those who celebrate the Christian meaning of Christmas are on the whole likely to be happier.[5] | ” |
The atheist Jerry Coyne admits the meaninglessness of the universe as an implication of an atheistic evolutionary worldview, but then insists that we can create our own subjective meaning and marvel at the intricacies of nature (see also: Atheism and meaninglessness).[6]
For more information, please see studies and historical data relevant to:
The Bible teaches that atheism is foolish and wicked (Psalm 14:1). It also teaches that the wicked who refuse to repent go to Hell (see also: Atheism and Hell).
