I don't mean to be rude. But honestly, what concern is it of yours if there are people out there who believe in God? My advice it to just not let it bother you. There will always be people out there who believe differently than yourself, and the best response is to just learn to be tolerant and respectful of different minded people.
Well, personally I find these sorts of debates to be fun, but at the same time... there are a good many christians who could stand to learn what you've written here, and who think nothing of extending their concern over people believing other things out into the real world, not just the confines of an atheist forum.
Tolerance and respect are wonderful things, but until you've been accosted and told you can't be moral unless you believe like I do, unless you've been told that you secretly believe as I do and are simply saying otherwise for malevolent purposes, unless you've had every aspect of your belief system interrogated and dismissed, labelled as theft from the worldview of another because that's what their holy book says, -or hey, how about if I tried enforcing my beliefs upon you via law?- then there's a sort of bitter irony in you asking what concern it is of ours what your group believes. It's actually quite a bit of our concern for all those reasons and more.
