So they can say stupid, nasty or illogical things in the name of atheism in order to make atheists look bad.
So they can "convert" from atheism to theism online and in front of witnesses after reviewing the "compelling evidence for god"
And lots of other reasons.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
