Believers can do it no problem, but atheists? There’s no way! ...Right?
Christian apologist William Lane Craig’s “The Absurdity of Life Without God” contains the claim that atheists can’t be happy and philosophically consistent - that if an atheist is happy, it’s only because they’re living inconsistently with their own views, so atheism is truly unlivable. But what does the actual data say? Can atheists be happy without stealing from god? Here, I respond to WLC’s claim while discussing actual research on atheism and mental health / happiness.
