It's time to stop pretending God exists!

Theists are playing pretend, correct.

I think it's more of a delusion than pretending.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

This. Delusions of grandeur to be more specific.

I thought we were suppose to stop pretending god doesn't exist, because we are the reason starving children are dying in Africa and stuff?

This is how I'm interpreting the OP. MysticKnight has the impression that atheists think theists and deists are only pretending to believe in God.

The way Atheists talk to the Theists here give me the impression, they believe we are be dishonest to reality and don't want to face reality. That tells me that we are pretending God exists, that we know we have no reason to believe he exists but still insist on it, because it makes us happier as opposed to truly sincerely believing it to be true.
