What sins fill your lives, atheists?
My life is filled with working 40 hours a week in a small software development company, going home to my family, walking our dogs and sitting down for dinner together. My Saturdays are usually a bunch of friends coming over to play Dungeons and Dragons, and my Sundays are lazy days with the family. We usually go grocery shopping.
Of course, we're trying to do this all as sinfully as possible (because we atheists are sinful types), but there's only so much one can sin while at the dog park or grocery store. How do you, fellow atheists, fill your lives with sin?

During the week, I sinfully go to school, ride the bus home giving off sinful vibes the whole way, then I come home and have a snack and do my biology homework so I can get good grades and go to college. (OMG SCANDALOUS)
On Saturdays, I get up early and sinfully volunteer with a soccer league for children with mental disabilities. Then I come home, sinfully do my chores, sin with my pet rats, and sometimes SINFULLY go on the computer or read...wait for it...the FANTASY GENRE! (How sinful!)
On Sundays I sinfully skip church and OMG do homework sinfully.
Next summer I'm going to sinfully pay 2500 to fly to Romania and volunteer at an orphanage and maybe fill the orphans' lives with more sin as I teach them English and give them much-needed companionship.
Sometimes I feel like I can't bear the weight of all this sin weighing down on me.

Depends on the time of the year. During the school year for the past 5 years the majority of my time is filled with classes full time as well as working 20-50 hours a week.
Basically... school work school work school work (that's what I get for putting myself through school). I've also fit in some volunteer work and community service (as if I wasn't busy enough).
During the summer I also work. Fitting in some time to make the 8 hour trip to visit family that I only see once or twice a year. Saturdays and Sundays during the summer I am typically off. Once in a while on either Saturday or Sunday I am either working or voluntarily babysitting for my "surrogate nephew" so his parents can have a break (seeing that they're adjusting to have a new baby and all).
And one day on the weekend I'm catching up with cleaning, bills, cooking, and whatever else I have time for.
It's kind of crazy. But it works.

A sin is a crime against god and as I do not believe in god, I cannot possibly sin...but I get your question.
I work 40 hours a week if I can stand to stay that long, then I go home and have a martini or two and fix dinner for my youngest daughter who is almost 20.
I do laundry on occasion and try to walk the dog regularly. If I can find the occasion I will go out to Palm Springs to stay with my mom and extended family and have many more martinis.
It is so very difficult to keep myself out of trouble.

Well, I normally go to school 5 days a week but I am currently on study leave so I spend my days revising for my GCSE's so I can carry on into further education. On my break-days, I hang out with my boyfriend or my friends, movies or music in particular.
I have just acquired a Saturday job cleaning chalet's at a local holiday resort, so this will pay for whatever I need in the next 2 years while living at home.
On my gap year, I'm hoping to volunteer in Africa to help a small village in Uganda build more amenities.
I'm such a sinful person though. It's unbelievable. (;

Just pointing something out here. Any educated Christian will tell you that they sin, so you trying to make it look like we claim that only Atheists live a sinful life is pretty ignorant. The only difference between a sinful Christian and a sinful Atheist is that a Christian will (or should) confess and ask for forgiveness, leading to a more conscious mind the next time the situation comes around.
Don't think of Christians as silly people that walk around with a Bible held up high and whipping themselves on the back. We too live normal lives.

I watch TV and walk my dog, mostly my summer is filled with a lot of lazing around and no work.
You're right, there is only so much sinning an atheist can do in a day.

Most notably, I sinfully gave up my easter break to do community service in hurricane-hit areas and built a house. Usually, I can be spotted at locally cafes drinking iced coffees of sin, and I typically casually hang out with my friends and sunbathe. My boyfriend of three years and I hang out sometimes, playing mini golf, and eating pizza. I play piano and sing about sins, with glee.

Well, I would commit adultery, but I'm not currently in a relationship. I can't murder with dull knives and whatnot. Hmm, I guess I have to do terrible things such as steal music from greedy companies, think freely, honor my mother and father, respect all humans, have a greater moral compass than many Christians, and live my life to the fullest. Hell, here I come.

Sounds like a fun weekend.
I've been working hard to graduate from college and find a job in this awful economy (as sinfully as possible, of course).

I'm a Deist/Pantheist and my Older Brother is an Atheist. I have a B.A. in Anthropology so we go around planting fossils. And to just add to the confusion, my Younger Sister that is Roman Catholic and going for her Masters in Anthropology also helps plant fossils from time to time.
