People who are supposed to believe in the afterlife are the majority of humanity
There are more people in the world who believe in God than who do not believe in God, if you add up the number of Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists.
As of 2020, the global religious populations are:
Christianity: 2.3 billion (28.8% of the global population)
Islam: 2 billion (25.6% of the global population)
Hinduism: 1.2 billion (14.9% of the global population)
Buddhism: 300 million (4.1% of the global population)
Judaism: 10 million (0.2% of the global population)
These figures are based on a 2025 Pew Research Center report analyzing data from 2010 to 2020. While earlier 2010 estimates placed the Jewish population at approximately 14 million, the 2020 data cited in the report lists it at 10 million. Christianity and Islam together account for more than half of the world's population.
What "real evidence" of God's existence would atheists accept?
Nobody ever claimed that God can be found anywhere in the universe. The Classical Theory of the Abrahamic God is that God exists outside the universe having created it. It is not the problem of ethical monotheists that atheists refuse to make the inference that there must have been a Creator if there was a Creation.
Ethical montotheists are in a better position to say who caused the Big Bang than scientists.
Jews and Muslims never claimed that God can be encountered and demonstrated in this life
Because Jews, Christians and Muslims never claimed that God can be encountered and demonstrated in this life, they cannot demonstrate that God exists. Indeed Jews and Muslims claim that He does not take physical form. As for the stories of Moses encountering God when he was talking to the Burning Bush, that was just the Holy Spirit who acts as the Agent of God sent to convey divine messages and perform miracles.
If people only believe in things they would like to be true and call it faith, why would atheists have a problem with believing that good will be rewarded and evil punished in this life and the next?
If we give people who claim God exists the benefit of the doubt, we could say that they assert things that they cannot know are true, only what they believe to be true and would like to be true ie that God exists to reward good and punish evil in this life and the next. But who wouldn't want to believe that God exists to punish evil and reward good? Surely only evil people would not want believe that evil will be punished in the next life if not in this life?
Are atheists therefore evil people?
The concept of God even if it is a lie is an instrument of government
There is no need for God to actually exist for religion to be useful, is there?
Atheists are mistaken if they think the existence of God is falsified just because evil people do not want to believe that evil will be punished in this life and the next
You may think God definitely does not exist, but where does it say in any scripture that God does not exist if atheists deny His existence?
The eugenic practice of marriage is supported by the five world religions, even if Christianity is the weakest link after being colonised by liberalism and feminism which led to sexual liberation from the rules of marriage and good parenting
The most powerful being conceivable is the Abrahamic God who is omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect. He would have to be morally perfect to correctly assign the allegedly immortal souls of the deceased to their correct afterlife destination. Even if it is granted to the atheist that the Abrahamic God is just a story for the purpose of political, moral and social control, the purpose of organised religion - also known as the Abrahamic religions - is to obtain the greater likelihood of obedience to the law than the Eastern religions. Since all the five world religions support marriage, why would you have a problem with that as a married father?
How is it provable that the wisdom of atheist philosophers is greater than that of religious leaders who are also political leaders?
If we want knowledge, we would go to a teacher or librarian. If we want wisdom, we would go to philosophers and religious leaders, wouldn't we? How would we know that the wisdom of atheist philosophers is greater than the wisdom of religious leaders? Is not the greatest religious leader of the world the Supreme Leader of Iran whose belief system - Islam - defeated the might of America, the global hegemon?
