Is anyone really so dense as to think that all atheists are lonely people with no friends or family and no one to share life with?
Atheist or theist.... we ALL feel lonely and friendless at one time or another.
I think God gets a bad name through religion. If we think of God as "the" standard of excellence it becomes more clear and defined. Whatever your belief system is, it really doesn't matter.
If Love, Peace, and Goodwill are your goals? Then you are doing His will.
Before you start mentioning ALL the bad things the OT God has done, lets keep in mind that we have no first hand information. Only what old men wrote on parchment. And Jesus' words which profess a "kinder, gentler" Father!
But even as an Atheist, you have to admit the the "concept" of God has merit. Peace brothers & sisters, and Happy New Year!
Quis ut Deus?
