What you described is not knowledge. It's a belief - you really need to realize the difference. It's also a distraction and possibly a mental problem, so - yeah, I fail to see what's "good" about it.

Of course you're not. But you're maybe 0.1% of the human population right now - and way less than that if you count people in the past. There have been billions and billions of people, who did not receive god's message, regarding discarding religion, so - yeah, you're special and god's "mind-casting" network does not seem to be working very well.

Still not making sense. "Many" is not a number. How many is "many"? It's easy to make generalizing blanket statements, when you don't care about facts...
I told you - billions of people lived their whole lives without being spoken to by god, OR becoming atheist. Which means - you can be a believer and not hear god in your head. People become atheists mainly because religions are antiquated and contrary to reason - NOT because god doesn't whisper sweet nothings into their ears.
Sure - the number of declared atheists is slowly increasing, because of EDUCATION and the fact that most religions organizations can't murder and burn atheists anymore - even though they would really like to. Still - we're only around 2-3% of the world's current population. Since god doesn't talk to the majority of the population of 7 billion - where are all the billions of atheists, who gave up religion, because god didn't speak to them? Like - there are 2 billions of catholics, who don't believe god directly speaks to them. By now there should be at least 2 billion of atheists in the world - WHERE ARE THEY? Why are there still Catholics?
No, of course you don't know, because all you seem to be doing is making up touchy-feely platitudes, in order to justify your own mystical outlook on the world.
