Example of what ungodly people sometimes say:

“All I know is this; I know many Christians and our lives parallel each other.  We all have families and careers.  We all go through good times and bad times. Our lives in this earth are no different.”

Within the materialistic paradigm (false reality) this may seem to be true.  And many, many Christians walk according to an Atheistic paradigm or a Naturalistic paradigm to a great extent and many Atheists walk according to a religious paradigm to a great extent.  However, there is a spiritual realm and the spiritual realm has a huge effect on the material part of creation.  A person who is truly following Christ (not a religious person) is happier than a person who is not following Christ.  The most unhappy people are people who are religious but not following Christ—those who try to be both for Christ and against Him: hypocrites.  Atheists tend to be unhappy when compared to all religious groups.  Divorce rates are extremely low for Christians who walk according to the leading of the Holy Spirit, who pray together every day, and who order their homes according to the pattern that God provides in Scripture.
