Why does a God need me to believe in him rather than just decide on my fate based on how many people I've helped?
The god of the Bible, at least, absolutely DOES judge people on what they believe. If an atheist save 12 (or 1200 or 12 000), people, that atheist is going to hell (Romans 14:23).
In fact, anything you do without faith is a sin - feed the hungry, clothe the naked, console a grieving widow.
This make the Christian conception of God monstrous.
