Any atheist is a person who simply doesn't hold a belief in a god or gods. As such, he or she could have any belief about suffering or death, because Atheism is not a belief, and it is not dogmatic.

Atheists do not have a consistent view beyond their position that there is no god. Most atheists have noted that most people suffer form something and all people die.

What is the Atheistic Existentialist belief on suffering and death?

Two points stand out:Nobody lives forever - death is unavoidableSometimes it hurts - however life in a bubble is no fun at allThe suffering and/or death of any living thing is abhorrent to most people, atheist or theist. No one should have to suffer before they die. Many atheists subscribe to the view that voluntary euthanasia should be the right of every person who requests it. Atheistic existentialists hold that when we die we simply cease to exist. They accept death as an inevitability and as the end of life.Generally, atheists feel much suffering is random. True, along the lines of existentialist thinking--- some do contribute to the onset of their own suffering, such as smokers who come down with lung cancer.Yet, for the most part, much suffering is random. Parents whose child comes down with a horrific disease have not contributed. In such situations, all parents struggle with the question, "Why MY child?" but atheists are free from the perceived answers that popped into their minds 'from a god', or from their religious friends/pastors saying things like:"It's god's way of getting your attention.""God works in mysterious ways.""God wanted you to be closer to Him/pray more/appreciate life more/learn patience/learn grace/etc etc".What kind of god would crumple up an innocent child to cause their parents (who may already be religious) to pray more.


What is the atheistic existentialist view on ethics?

The atheist existential view of ethics is that ethics do not emerge from supernatural sources but from pragmatic sources; a good system of ethics is one that contributes to the healthy functioning of the society which adopts it. In other words, we are ethical because it is useful to be ethical, not because God commands us to do so.
