Agnostics/Atheists, To Whom Do They Give Thanks?

Christians thank God/Jesus when things go well for them,

Muslims thank Allah,

JWs thank Jehovah,

Bhudists thank Bhudda,....etc.

What about Atheists and Agnostics?

If someone does something nice for me, I thank them.

If good things happen in my life and someone is directly responsible, I make a point of thanking them.

If good things happen in my life as a consequence of my hard work or wise choices, I use this as an incentive to keep up the good work.

Conversely, if bad things happen in my life as a consequence of my negligence or poor choices, I use this as an impetus to change for the better.

I thank whomever showed me kindness or provided me a service.

Sometimes due to residual indoctrination, force of habit I find myself thanking God but that is more and more a rarity

Gratitude and appreciation are not exclusive to "believers".

On the subject of gratitude: has anyone else found that JW's seldom sent "thank you" notes? This always irked me.

I may not believe in God, but I've always been a big believer in thank you notes. :)

What an odd question.

Thankful humans, whether believers in God or not, give thanks to the person(s) responsible for acts of kindness.

I don't think the question was odd. Many believers see agnostics and atheists as less than pond scum. Let them ask their questions, maybe they'll walk away enlightened. :)
