1. Do you believe God is the imagination??
A-I think everyone and anything is God. So yes, God is imagination also, we are all connected to the Universe, no disproof otherwise. I can only describe Imagination is Godlike higher energy experiences.
"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?"
— John Lennon
2. If so, why does this have to require a supernatural being?
A-My imagination forms my idea of God, the idea that God is a spirit manifest into the ego self. Nobody can honestly explain what God is, I don’t think there is a super nature being, nor think there is a super human being. We are all God and we can explain all nature through time with reason as there is a reason for everything. Super natures God’s who created the concept of Hell are absence of reason. Eternal hell is against act and absent by nature to each individual creature and everywhere present.
Ok, so your definition of God is completely useless. Why is everything God? Why would you call everything God? Why use the word at all? We have words and names for things that exist, so why muddle the issue by claiming it is God? Do you worship everything? It's like the Smurfs using the word Smurf for half their words. So in your mind:
'My God forms my idea of God, the idea that God is a God into the God. Nobody can honestly explain what God is, I don’t think there is a God, nor think there is a God. We are all God and we can explain all God through God with God as there is a reason for God'
It's the pointless definition of God I've ever come across. The things you are describing are more commonly known as the natural world.

A-Atheist think God is figment of human imagination yet Imagination is more important than knowledge. Atheist Science dominant it's scientific explanation for their atheistic origin of the universe. There are no other kind of fields that atheist dominate in which contribute little, lacking a broad sense of imagination and diversity. Imagination leads science, which would contradicts if science lead imagination. Science is only one branch in the tree of life?
Atheist tells me often my imagination doesn't prove anything, yet when you depend too much on your eyes, and then your imagination is out of focus. Atheist rigid thinking will not accept it unless it can be proven by scientific fact, so my claim often does not exist for them.
4. On what basis do you claim that the reason atheists do not run the world has anything to do with imagination?
A- Real Spirit leads ego yet Religious ancient spirit are leading us into this over ego world, Atheist criticized the various gods as products of human society and imagination. Can you imagine an Atheist as the US president in your lifetime? Can you imagine 3% atheist taking over and running the world from the 90% God believers. It you can’t imagine it, you can’t do it.
I am sad to say the dominant factor in society today is Religion. Much of science in which atheist dominant are given scorn and ignore which implies ignorance. Someday there will be a middle grounds, where religions will shrink and atheist will grow, allowing all of us to higher level of richly imagined desires, then shortly followed by our minds.
Science will standout much greater that day.
Some of your sentences are ghastly and hard work to read, but I think I have the gist of what you're saying. So let me get this straight:
1. Atheists dominate the field of science
2. Imagination leads science
3. Atheists lack imagination
I think I see a contradiction whacking you around the face with a giant bat. If imagination leads science, atheists would require an enormous amount of it in order to make their discoveries, no?
Now that aside, it's a pretty shit point for another reason. You've repeatedly referred to how religious people make up large amounts of the population compared to atheists. So it's not at all surprising to find non-believers poorly represented in any field. Despite this, there have been plenty of very prominent non-believers in almost any discipline you care to examine:
Writing: Mark Twain, Douglas Adams, Ian McEwan, Philip Pullman, Terry Pratchett, Isaac Asimov, Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell...
Entertainment: Woody Allen, Billy Connolly, George Carlin, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Seth MacFarlane, Matt Groening, Penn Jillette, Ricky Gervais...
Do I need to continue? The list goes on and includes technology (Bill Gates and Richard Branson), politics (Thomas Jefferson, James Madison) and as I said, almost any topic you wish to cover.
Another thing to raise is most atheists don't really necessarily want to be running the world. What secularists like me want is a society where this kind of thing not only does not matter, but is not really spoken about. I don't care at all what religion somebody is, as long as they don't expect preferential treatment for it and acknowledge the rights of everyone.
Finally, you speak of a middle ground, but we are already entering it. Atheists are one of the fastest growing groups in the world, particularly in the US. It's estimated that non-believers will make up I think 25-30% of the US population in ten years' time. In Europe, religion has already been somewhat marginalised in many countries. And it's only going to continue as we learn more about the world and how unnecessary God hypotheses are. Especially ones like yours, that don't tell us anything at all.
