I never understand why people's idea of a "God" would want or need worship. They make it out to be an egotist and/or some kind of fairy that depends on the power of belief to exist. Ironically, the second part is in fact true. Once there are no more people worshipping a god, it is "dead", in a manner of speaking. In other words, people stop randomly attributing things that happen to dead gods.
One that demands it and treats you less favourably for not doing it, in this life or "the next", is just an evil tyrant. It's sad to me how few people stand up to it. Why does almost no one who believes in it tell it to fuck off? Just because they think it exists, they don't have to do what it says. Or rather, what other people tell them it wants them to do. Even less reason to listen. I tell it to fuck off every day for fun, and do what I think is best, and it does absolutely nothing about it.

Religion is feeling based. Its presumed that God promotes bitter "love" of caring and respecting Him as a merciful creator and dislikes egoistical pleasant lifestyle.

Sounds more like a projection than a presumption.

He has plenty of atheists to talk to here, yet he continues to tell us about what he assumes about us.

None of these questions apply to atheists, as we recognise no deities of any kind, much less worship them. A lot of us used to be theists, though, so you may get a few responses of that nature. As for myself, I have never been even slightly religious, nor do I ever see a time when I might be.
Yeah, still waiting for the 'Questions for atheist' bit.

I just wanted to know atheist opinion.Sorry if i wroted it not clearly enough.
If you think your afterlife will be better than your current life, you're not really living.You're just waiting to die.
