Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

I am speaking to the US Bible thumpers here, of course ~ many of whom are flat-earthers who deny evolution and see scientists as evil people who are constantly trying, and succeeding, in disproving their beliefs one by one.

I do not personally care if you believe in a god or not.

Is it common for people to fall in love with someone else while still married? If so, why do they choose to stay in their marriage?

And how do you deny hundreds of years of advancement in all fields of science?

These are man made rules - made thousands of years ago for the use of the humans who lived thousands of years ago.

A belief in a god is not the problem.

What is the rudest/meanest thing a family member has said to you?

Those rules that you are trying to reinstate are rules made by men who didn't know anything about the earth, nor anything about all of the other inhabitants of it. How can you not see that?

And then use and ENJOY these fantastic scientific advancements every single day of your life?

IT does not matter, mainly because it does not exist.

What song are you listening to right now? What does it mean to you?

Notice that I said their rules, not any gods rules.

My problem is that people who try to shove their rules down everyone's throats - including by physical force - DO EXIST .

Because these are not any gods rules we are talking about.
