As an atheist myself, it does not mean I do not believe there was no being or entity with more knowledge than us as humans, There may well have been an entity that appeared to be a God to us,

If a God created a universe, then he created it from outside of the universe, not with him inside it. This can be said that a God started the universe and created the Big Bang, as we call it,

To me that sounds very much like an experiment, and maybe that experiment is still going.

For us to be the center of that experiment I think is a joke to assume we hold such grander position that just a life form. Of all the galaxies with all the suns and all the planets that rotate around these suns. Life of some kind must exist in some form on some of those.

That our life form holds a residence over another life form is purely from a selfish tone of self superiority.

This does not take away from right and wrong. We all know what is right and wrong and we will hide the things we do we know are wrong.

In times of struggle like now that I go through. I turn to logic and possibility to get me through, I can pray for years and not get a vote to my post. If I make the effort to meet other people instead of praying and answer questions like this one. I am putting the same effort as praying out there and I have a greater chance of being seen.

I find working on the things you want a God to provide for you. instead of getting on your knees to pray. provides Everything your prayers could want.

The exception to this might be death. If you believe in a God, Then death is not something you would question the reason of why it came to that person. The answer would be simple, God called them home.

In most cases God is only prayed to when something is wanted and forgotten when things are going right. You cannot justify saying the US is a God fearing country, when they are so ready to war. Unless you believe they their God is the God of war.

Doing things to make your life better works better than praying for better.

The best use for prayer is in the form of meditation,
