I seriously debated for ten minutes upon whether I should waste my time on you, questionably a troll newbie. My conclusion: you ain't worth the breath.
So sad for you, looks like you were lookin for a fight.

Fuck off.

Its 2013 but, that's beside the point. Why is it that religious people, (jews,christians, muslins and pagans, etc), hate athiest so much?

Look out! NOOB!

Atheists do not make any effort whatsoever to define how to be a good person.

See The Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim,[1] ethical code or morality[2] that essentially states either of the following:
(Positive form of Golden Rule): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.[1]
(Negative form of Golden Rule): One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.

Rushworth Kidder discusses the early contributions of Confucius (551–479 BCE) (See a version in Confucianism below). Kidder notes that this concept's framework appears prominently in many religions, including "Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and the rest of the world's major religions".[7] According to Greg M. Epstein, " 'do unto others' ... is a concept that essentially no religion misses entirely."[8] Simon Blackburn also states that the Golden Rule can be "found in some form in almost every ethical tradition".[9] I

The question isn't about needing god to be "good". It is about human's needing neg consequences. You show me that we don't, I'll be the first to dump this overseer type god.

Golden rule came from religions. Golden rule is about thinking about others first and not you. That too is "religion".

when we don't need religion, we won't need the police giving speeding tickets either. Until then, we are what we are.

golden rule

Atheism says there is no more reason to obey the golden rule than to obey it, changing it from a rule to something that one person considers to be a good opinion to have.

Atheists do not have the Golden Rule, atheists have the Golden Opinion. Of course no society in history has ever been run off of Golden Opinions, and the only atheist societies in history that have followed the utopian and naive dreams of a society ruled by good opinions have been the Communists, who, predictably, turned out to violate these utopian principles more than anyone else.
