The funny irony is, had a nimrod like you lived 2000yrs ago, you'd be in the front of the crowd clammering to set the thief go & stringing up the preacher. And for the high offense of moral law breaking, claiming to be the son of god: "crucify that one" , you'd be yelling till your voice gave out.
This is what one of the most prominent atheists in the world wrote on his 80th birthday, for the most part atheists can be part philosophically agnostic, it is only when confronted with nimrods as yourself they are reminded again of the true path to healing the world.
Bertrand Russell: :"I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."

Russell described himself as an atheist, "speaking popularly" and "in regard to the Christian God", but "speaking to a purely philosophical audience", an agnostic. [74] For most of his adult life Russell maintained that religion is little more than superstition and, despite any positive effects that religion might have, it is largely harmful to people. He believed that religion and the religious outlook (he considered Communism and other systematic ideologies to be forms of religion) serve to impede knowledge and foster fear and dependency, and are responsible for much of the war, oppression, and misery that have beset the world. He was a member of the Advisory Council of the British Humanist Association and President of Cardiff Humanists until his death. [75
