why do so many non-religious people seem to completely reject the mere possibility of an after-life, or even just a soul, or some kind of spiritual energy connecting lifeforms?

    To reiterate, it is not scientifically plausible to deny the existence of a god just because there isn’t evidence of it.

    Isaac Asimov summed up my view of things better than I could:

    I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.

      Given his personification and singular use of the word God I assume he was talking about christianity? I certainly suspect that the gods featured in all major religions don't exist
