Bottom line is that people are egoistic and religion still exist mostly because of the fear of hell. Hell is unbearable idea and just like unicorns it cannot be denied as false. Atheism doesn't exist. Agnosticism does.
Are you really this dense? Sorry, but I cannot hate something that has never shown itself to be real. Again, as others have said - should there be proof that such a god exists, I could change my mind, but it's highly doubtful that there is such a god since we've not actually had any sort of tangible evidence backing up claims of existence. All we've had are stories from people who "claim" to have seen him (or felt him or talked to him; ad nauseaum). Those claims, in and of themselves do NOT make the existence of a god a reality.
You're entitled to your opinion, but when you make such statements as "Atheism is an illusion made by arrogant people who just hate the idea of a God.", it makes you sound just like those ignorant religious nuts who tell us the same damn thing. Don't assume that I hate god. I hate some of my family members for personal reasons. But those people are real people who have done real things to cause a division between me and them. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that god doesn't exist, therefore I can't hate him for the things that have happened in my life.
