Belief or disbelief in God can profoundly affect your outlook on the
future. Without God, the survival of the human race is entirely in
man’s
hands—a bleak thought, considering man’s destructive potential. If you
do believe that God exists, then you likely accept that life on this
planet does have a purpose—a purpose that may yet be realized.
Although denials of God’s existence have been sporadic throughout
history, it is only in recent centuries that the popularity of atheism
has spread. Do you know why?
Because you're wrong. Atheism has been around for as long as theism. The
first theist would have been all excited about his imaginary friend. The
first atheist would have said, "I don't believe you."

I've never understood why lying theists say we're denying anything.

PR. It feeds their persecution complex when they claim we're denying.

Simply because of their; honesty, intelligence, integrity, courage,
self-reliance, candor, compassion, empathy, sense of fair play, justice,
humanity, and morality.
