To the OP:
Why is there something instead of nothing? I don't know, but including a god in the answer is begging the question.
All gods presented by the various religions are either self-contradictory, or highly unlikely given the evidence we have available.
Most god believers don't come to their belief through evidence or logic. They believe because it makes them feel good to believe. The moral argument against god attacks this good feeling, and can be a reason why some decide not to believe.
I agree that a god being immoral or uncaring does not mean it doesn't exist, though. Most atheists simply see no reason to imagine that one does.
