Yes. We're good because we think it's right, not because of a promise of some reward (or punishment) after we're dead. And we enjoy this life while we have it, because it's the only life we're likely to get.

It does take courage, not only for confronting the finality of death, but also for being in the minority. Though it took more courage in the past when the majority would kill you for not believing in whatever god was in favor. Some parts of the world, that is still true.

Heck, in my lifetime I've seen serious suggestions about rounding up all atheists into concentration camps.
