Really it doesn't matter if I want a god to exist, that has nothing to do with Atheism, Atheism is about what I believe to be true. I would not want a god if he was anything like the character in the bible, I'm sure anyone could think up some god with awesome features and benefits.
Your other hypothetical about someone holding a gun to my head, doesn't make much sense to me. Why do we need the guy holding a gun to our head, that is not situation where we are choosing to live or die. Why not just ask if we would rather die than live, I also think most people would rather live, not sure how this relates to Atheism.
