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.
you dont know what is in my mind or what my experiences are exactly so you have no basis whatsoever for saying that " what you described is not knowledge. It's a belief it's also a distraction and possibly a mental problem " .... how can such a diagnosis/judgement be considered anything other than a very biased assumption based on very little information ? you do not have all the facts are heavily biased and are only guessing based on ignorance about my situation .
i have come across many atheists who say just that , that they did not feel any connection to God did not believe that God was real and therefore stopped believing in God . sometimes its a combination of not believing in religious doctrine and not feeling a connection to God and sometimes its just the doctrine doesnt make sense .
...... and try not to speak for all atheists or all believers ( or claim you know whats wrong with me or claim that you know the percentage of people in the world who have a real connection to God and know it ) ok just speak for yourself what you do know for sure .... people have different motivations for believing and disbelieving . many believers dont understand that they can have a relationship with God and are content with just praying and thinking Gods "response" to be something that happens in the world that is in their favor and attribute it to God and content in their belief that that is a "relationship" . also there are social expectations and a sense of obligation in keeping their religious belief .
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
