Its a good country with a much better system of social care than America.
So how in a mainly godless country can our morality be so much more demonstrably superior to the rather in your face Christian country of the US?
The less religious they are, the better the people tend to be. This is seen everywhere in the world.
So it follows that religion is bad for humanity.
Look at the least religious countries quality of life and crime rates. Look at the US and atheist population percentages in prison.
From the face of it Atheism makes you better.
Why would a god make it thus?

What countries are you claiming don't believe in God? And the US is pretty darn good. We have the richest poor people in the world.
I live in England whose religiosity has reduced enormously. Around the south coast it is the exception to be religious.
The church I was christened in is now a bar.
in a you gov poll in 2016 (The latest I could find) in England 28% said they believed in either a god or a higher power.
UK Church membership has declined from 10.6 million in 1930 to 5.5 Million in 2010, or as a percentage of the population; from about 30% to 11.2%.
By 2013, this had declined further to 5.4 million (10.3%). If current trends continue, membership will fall to 8.4% of the population by 2025.2

interesting 16% of the world population identify as non religious.

"Religiously unaffiliated people – sometimes called the 'nones' – account for 16 percent of the world’s population, and they make up the largest 'religious group' in seven countries and territories. Perhaps more remarkably, they also are the second-largest group in roughly half (48 percent) of the world’s nations," Pew demographer Conrad Hackett wrote.
Your gods aren't as popular as you think they are.

FWIW, there are theists with whom I can have a productive conversation about such matters. You simply aren't one of them. My advice is to educate yourself and work on your logic (which is horrid btw) before attempting to persuade skeptics to see things from your point of view.

It is an assumption based on nothing apart from you want it to be true.
If you look at what can actually be proved then you will not find any trace of god.
Just because things exist is not evidence for a god. It is rather pathetic of you to insult us with the poorly constructed thought.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
