I have experienced many good things, that a lot of other people have never experienced. Is this not proof of God's favor? If God cared about those less fortunate than me, as much as He cares about me, then those "less fortunate" people, would not be less fortunate.

Yeah, this is either narcissism or some equivalent of the American Prosperity Gospel.

I'm an atheist, and I have a great life.  Does God love me more than some pious refugee?  Does God love me more than those slaughtered by maniacs?  

That's some deity you believe in.  Perhaps you could explain what you believe God is, and what you believe God does (and why).
