2 issues:

1. As long as it is stipulated that it is a belief, and not substantiated by any objective evidence. I do not believe that there is no God, I simply choose not to believe that one exists despite the lack of evidence.

2. The issue is not what happens after we're dead, the issue lies in the way we are asked to live. When I am asked to suspend my ability to reason, in order to believe in a supernatural being, and then act according to Ways handed down from Him (as told by His Priest-minions), I am entitled to a wee bit of skepticism. One must question what is being asked of him/her, eh?
