I admit I am biased because I have believed in God for so long, so these things may seem more real than they actually are. But if atheism is true, then none of this matters. Natural selection has just tricked our minds into "thinking" these things matter. Our brain really just evolved in a way to trick us to survive, for no apparent reason other than reproduction (but not even that matters). Hitler wasn't "wrong" to kill people, his brain just failed to evolve correctly, right? There is no wrong and right, just opinion based on how an individual's brain evolved through the billions of years. I find that unbelievable. Almost everyone seems to believe their life and their decisions matter. Therefore, I think that's why most people believe there is God. The other option leaves us admittedly delusional.
