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

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

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

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

Is Melania still angry that she failed as a model? Why is she so cold and hostile? Why did she blame everyone for her actions in her trite book?

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

THE BIBLE IS THE PROBLEM!

IT does not matter, mainly because it does not exist.

How was your JEE Advanced 2024 result?

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

A belief in a god is not the problem.

And how do you deny hundreds of years of advancement in all fields of science?

How would you describe modern day Russian society, beyond just politics?

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.

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

And then use and ENJOY these fantastic scientific advancements every single day of your life?

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

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?
