Apart from all the other obvious-troll signs previously posted, one which leaped out at me even as I started reading this thread is indicated right there in the title. We were promised "Questions", plural, yet were only given one, indicating that there were more planned to follow. This is a clear sign of an agenda and from what transpired, the OP is following the script to the letter. Ask provocative question, agree with the answer ("Yes, but...") followed by totally unrelated question. Whatever the response, triumphally feign offence and reset to the original question, which of course was never answered. Lather, rinse, repeat. The intention of stirring up the members addressed in the OP is obvious; that resident believers take the bait is the cherry on top.
All that said, on the extremely remote offchance that the OP is not a troll - and possibly a poe, his words and behaviour seem just a little too cliché somehow - here is my answer to the original question. "Why do [I] push [my] religion of Atheism on others when there is no evidence that God doesn't exist?" Answer: because it makes me feel superior to them, which I need to fill the yawning void in my desperately unfulfilling existence. I need to pretend that God doesn't exist because obviously if The Truth™ about God's existence ever got out I can no longer carry on sinning (after all, I've never been able to find God in the same way that a thief can't find a policeman, isn't that right?).
Is that the sort of thing you wanted to see? Either way, you can no longer claim that nobody answered your original question.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I am very skeptical of the OP's authenticity. He/she just seems to check all the boxes of fundamentalist ignorance too nicely and completely.

And when corrected by many of us, he continued with his misconceptions.
Case in point. He was corrected several times on the improper use of an upper case 'A' when spelling 'atheist', yet he continues to do it. An obvious attempt to make atheism (in his mind) a religion.
Also, when some of us did take time to answer his original question, he completely ignored those responses, and only commented on the sarcastic posts.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I also find it quite amusing that you guys are getting so worked up over my little question. I think it's just because you Atheists are butthurt with your lives and are angry at God. Oh ho ho ho. Scratch that. If I wasn't sure before, I'm definitely sure now. YOU ARE a fucking troll.
Do us a favour. Be entertaining at least. Yeah? You're boring for a clown.
And Daniel? Grow the fuck up will you? Seriously.

If you guys are truly convinced he's a troll, there's no reason this thread should be 11 pages long, nore should any of you be expressing hostility.

That's why I decided to say something. It's not even a good troll. Oh well.

Ok, then I have no objection to my post being deleted or otherwise expunged, since it has no place being here.

Just stop responding. Trolls feed on your emotional outbursts.
