Why do atheists claim that the concept of God is so unlikely

I'd expect to see some sort of blip of evidence somewhere, to account for all this. Yet I see nothing. I see confirmation bias fucking people up the arse, and them taking it like a bitch. I see highly suggestible people being conned. I see children being programmed. I see group hysteria.

And I see all of this behavior for every religion, while I know that most of them (if not all) are false religions.

What kind of perfect being forces its creations to believe in it on insufficient evidence? Or to create things in such a way as to make itself look unbelievably incompetent? It's hardly fitting to call such a thing superior, that's like calling aliens with superior technology but with as many ethical and intellectual failings as our own, 'gods' simply because they possess a means of doing something beyond our capabilities. It's like the people who made these deities up constructed this nonsense up in such a way as to make it easy to determine the gullible from the skeptical and set the rules in such a way that using the skeptics for target practice was their mantra. I mean, it's a great strategy and you can always rely on the majority to be heart-breakingly foolish and gang up on the minority no matter how preposterous and immoral the majority leaders' stance and the skeptical minority's logically sound and ethically upstanding position.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
