There is nothingness. Nothing to believe in, nothing to look forward to after death.
I have spent my life questioning everything spiritually. I dabbled in atheism for a spell....... but that was many years ago. Atheists often argue
that religion is a crutch, and only for the weak minded. Perhaps for some, but spirtuallity does not need to be bound by the bonds of some
deities/religions. You are free to accept god or a higher power or whatever you want at your own pace and level.
There is huge and varying degree of "believers". It is not bound by the constraints of science but quite the contrary.

Yes, any ism is just that, a belief which includes science. I love it when science suggests it is above a belief system. In the video "thunderbolts
of the gods" a scientist says that astronomers have been looking through the wrong end of the telescope telling us what they belief to be true. F.
