We cant.
In atheism, all one has to look forward to is old age and death. What
or where is the hope? I cant even imagine a world-view more hopeless
than atheism.
All you can hope for in atheism is a better standard of life, better
sense-gratification.
In modern life everyone is conditioned and indoctrinated into thinking
that they are the enjoyers, and that they can be happy by gratifying
the bodily senses. In fact, there are no other goals in the global
culture except growing up, getting an education, in order to get a job
to make money so you can spend it. There is nothing beyond that. How
hopeless is that?
It may seem ok for the successful people, who, due to their good
karma, are getting their desires fulfilled, but for the vast scores of
people who live in poverty and need, how is it beneficial to tell them
that this life is the only chance you'll ever get to have your desires
fulfilled? After that - nothing.
Or like the Church tells you - too bad, God cast you down into a life
of poverty and misery, while He cast another person down into a life
in fame and glory. It's a hopeless world-view, whichever way you look
at it, and it conditions people to a life of misery and
disappointment.
Krishna says:
One who restrains his senses, keeping them under full control, and
fixes his consciousness upon Me, is known as a man of steady
intelligence. Bg 2.61
While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops
attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from
lust anger arises. Bg 2.62
From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment
of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when
intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool. Bg
2.63
But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to
control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain
the complete mercy of the Lord. Bg 2.64
For one thus satisfied [in Krishna consciousness], the threefold
miseries of material existence exist no longer; in such satisfied
consciousness, ones intelligence is soon well established. Bg 2.65
