Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

I am speaking to the US Bible thumpers here, of course ~ many of whom are flat-earthers who deny evolution and see scientists as evil people who are constantly trying, and succeeding, in disproving their beliefs one by one.

Notice that I said their rules, not any gods rules.

The people of the modern world have evolved past all of that nonsense.

I do not personally care if you believe in a god or not.

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

My problem is that people who try to shove their rules down everyone's throats - including by physical force - DO EXIST .

I’m British and I'm hella bummed about it. Wish I was American or even Canadian, ’cause let’s be real, Canada’s gonna end up part of the States anyway. What should I do?

Because these are not any gods rules we are talking about.

These are man made rules - made thousands of years ago for the use of the humans who lived thousands of years ago.

Those rules that you are trying to reinstate are rules made by men who didn't know anything about the earth, nor anything about all of the other inhabitants of it. How can you not see that?
