I don't feel that it is. Since I don't accept the concept of an omniscient omnipotent omnipresent creator being anyway, I have no need for a relationship with one.Explain why it is important for you to believe or have a relationship with God.

I presume most people around me are already atheists or agnostics anyway, so usually it's nothing.When others say they are an Atheist, what goes through your mind?
Certain concepts of 'gods' typically found in Abrahamic religions. How some 'believers' seem to be able to lose their empathy so easily. "I would gladly kill if my God told me to." - That is a pretty scary view that some have.What troubles you most about belief in God?
That is a question that I doubt I can answer with any kind of satisfaction.Explain why it is important for you to believe or have a relationship with God.
After reading many of the replies, it seems that when I say "what gives you trouble about others belief in God". No one here seems to say "which one". From my point of view, that proves that believers here are very narrow minded and can't conceive of other God beliefs but their own.
What always goes through my mind about others belief in God is which one, which God are they building a world view from. And how does that affect their lives and the lives of the people they influence. That's what troubles me.
So you inverted the whole tale?Actually my view of God is very open-minded, since I believe that all gods are part of my God, except Jehovah. I believe Jehovah is a demiurge, if you want to use the term god, he's an evil god, who perceived himself as greater then the whole in his own mind. I have the words of the Old Testament as proof enough that he is evil. Why shouldn't I believe what the Jews wrote about him?
What don't you understand about it?I don't understand why they're Atheists. I do not mistreat them or frown on them for their views, but I don't understand it.

What don't you understand about it?
Like how they can possibly be Atheists. What led them to that? Many Atheists I've met dropped Theism just because they came to believe Christianity was wrong. You can't just dismiss the whole of religion because one religion might be wrong.
Well if that's the case then you would do well to talk to more atheists here.Like how they can possibly be Atheists. What led them to that?

You alluded to this by (wisely) pointing out that just picking a philosophy to follow is shallow, but nonetheless I want to clarify something.It makes sense to me. An atheist is someone who lacks belief in God. Perhaps they haven't been given enough reason to believe in God. There's no good reason to just believe for the sake of believing. Someone who loses faith in their particular religion would find it even harder to trust new information. Just picking a philosophy to follow is shallow, I find a lot of people do this. At that point, their belief is only an illusion and can fade or change as quickly as it came.
