Religious people have their God/gods to rely on. During difficult times they can seek help in mosque church synagogue or whatever, but atheists rely only on sex drugs alcohol for "spiritual comfort".

Atheists have nothing to rely on

At first, I thought it was going to be "sex, drugs, & rock'n roll".
But we do have friends, counselors, & personal resources.
Things aren't as bad for us as you think.

Revol yes i meant sex drugs and rock n roll. I wanted to edit
But religious people have spiritual Powers. It gives them strength.
Even without "spiritual powers", I manage well with what I have.

I know you believe this, as you have been indoctrinated to believe this, but this is utterly false.
We rely on each other; friends; family. We rely on knowledge. Rational atheists will not rely on sex, drugs or alcohol; as the rational atheist understands that using drugs and pleasure to "cope" is a maladaptive coping response and is counterproductive to solving and enduring life's challenges.
Your ideology on what atheists are and how they behave is as wrong as the ideology that all muslims are suicide bombers and terrorists

From an atheist perspective, no, religious people don't have spiritual powers. And no, God doesn't support you.
Which means we are all on equal grounds.
Didn't you get the memo?
We atheists have super-powerful built-in exorcism powers. And the ability to see beauty in that what exists.

Well it's a common misconception that atheists don't have special powers--we do!
I, for one, have a special atheist magic which allows me to feel happy at a moment's whim.
Who the xxx do you think you are to try and tell me I don't get support from God, try looking out for yourself, and leave me out of your "equations".

I am me. Let me repeat that: From my perspective, you get NO support whatsoever from God.
Deal with it.

What kind of help do people get in mosques, synagogues and whatever?
All the best,

I think in a very general sense, most people get what they want.
So don't feel bad for them.

How do you know? Have experience? I think you're projecting your own suppressed desires.
I was atheist for 10 years (and still consider myself being one to a certain degree), but I don't use sex, drugs, or alcohol for spiritual comfort. I read, listen to music, play music (or rather used to), cook food, bike or walk in nature, and other similar things to get my spiritual comfort. So obviously you're wrong about this one.

My base assumption still remains that "God" is a product designed and marketed for people whom hate their lives -- self-hate, feeling guilty, etc... It's impossible to be sane and be a follower of God. Sure, that's my opinion, but analyze it for a minute... No one kills more people than God, no one has more stupid crap done in their name than God, no one hurts more people than God, etc... Thus, my rationality... In reality God is really just whoever is talking about him. This is the fundamental difference between a follower of an Abrahamic religion and a Satanist, btw... We're honest about this fact...
I have to say though... What use is this God if he is like Santa for adults? We know Santa doesn't provide "presents" so all this wishful thinking is awfully pretentious.

Wrong!! Its you that get no support from God, live with it.
It is certainly interesting how difficult it is for some people to just accept that atheism is ok.
Everything I have, everything I own, everything I have to give.......comes from the God I worship. I don't think any atheist could begin to understand, hence the ridiculous comments.
We don't have any problem with atheists, unless they try to tell us what to believe.
