"Matthias Knutzen is t he first known explicit atheist was the German critic of religion Matthias Knutzen in his three writings of 1674. He was followed by two other explicit atheist writers, the Polish ex-Jesuit philosopher Kazimierz Łyszczyński and in the 1720s by the French priest Jean Meslier."

Who lives longer atheist or religious people?

"In both samples, the study showed that those with documented religious affiliations lived an average of 9.45 and 5.64 years longer respectively than those who did not. When other important factors like gender and marital status were calculated, the number dropped to 6.48 and 3.82 years." Jun 26, 2018

"A comprehensive demographic study of more than 230 countries and territories conducted by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life estimates that there are 5.8 billion religiously affiliated adults and children around the globe, representing 84% of the 2010 world population of 6.9 billion."

How much of the world's population is religious ?

"85 percent of the world p opulation growth, through history, has been inextricably tied to the expansion of religious life. Today, some 85 percent of people around the globe identify with a religion." Jan 12, 2024

"Jan 15, 2023 t here are  nearly 4,000  recognised faiths around the globe. However, almost 75 percent of the people follow one of the five main faiths which include

1.) Buddhism

2.) Hinduism

3.) Christianity

4.) Judaism

5.) Islam

Take number 3 "Christianity" that's complex why? Because there's a counterfeit Christianity at play. See articles like the rise of counterfeit Christianity.

True Christianity is not pagan religion and one has to examine the fabric, the DNA of true Christianity as opposed to counterfeit Christian because they're different. They believe different teachings and interpretations of doctrine and they follow different ways. The fabric and the DNA is different. True Christianity should be relationship and not religion. There's a reason for it and if you want you could research it.

So why did I write all this and what am I getting at? The world is deceived massively and yes God does exist but a great population of the Earth follows religion and many false gods and false ways. Revelation 12:92  Corinthians 4:4  versus relationship with God ( Here )

Those who follow counterfeit religion  a lot of them are really worshiping not in truth fooled of the devil and they don't even know it and many their true father is not the true god. Yet we have people practicing witchcraft and people that worship the devil and probably even know him. On the other hand greater is he that is inside you then he that is in the world. God is relationship. But you think in terms of religious people how they think when they don't really know God they don't see things the way God would see things because God doesn't think as man thinks as his ways and thoughts are above/higher than ours. In fact he tells us in his word that all have gone astray and none understand and have become unprofitable. The things we highly esteem are also an abomination unto God. So they religious people would assume that they are in a sense a little bit more righteous than others because they're religious but religion doesn't make your righteous.   (1 Corinthians 1:26): Now if it's relationship it might have a real effect on you. The Bible says the heart is abundantly wicked and who could know it. There could have been atheists that probably have been billionaires and that have lived long lives and have not known God and died in their atheism and probably are in hell right now. The only door is Jesus and we're talking about the real Biblical Jesus from Israel the Hebrew that went to a synagogue not some other false Christ. He's the only door right now. So of all the false religions and all the atheists on Earth and knowing that the way truly is very tight, very narrow not that many people make it to heaven. Most make it to hell as it fills up as the prophet Isaiah told us. God has to punish sin and man is without excuse. Actually atheism is a sin. And the astonishing thing is you can probably find an atheist with better manners than religious people. That is mind-boggling. The very truth of the matter is God exists and he's the God of Israel and so does hell. You live once and then the judgment and that's the real truth. You don't want to end up in hell. To know God as some of these people say they really would want to know God they need to read the Bible seek and pray. A person needs to seek because he can be found but he's not found the way you would find a mars bar in a store it just doesn't work that way. You have to believe that he exists. Read the scriptures and take your time and pray. Think ask questions in your mind read what other people have said and speak to other true biblical believers. Watch the testimonies online a bunch of them and pray about it. People have had near death experiences of Heaven and Hell now all of them might not be true. Heaven is a real place and so is hell. Do you have to die the first death to find out hell is real and you were a fool. You see the Bible says the fool has said in their heart there's no God. There is a God. Jesus is real and before the foundations of the world were laid God already knew what had to be done. John 3:16 " According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love :"

Many waste their life many people such as atheists on many different things but they probably rarely never read the Bible with an open heart if at all. You atheists are encouraged to pray and call out. Say if you exist I want to know you. Do it.

You see to be perfectly honest the devil exists as well and God cannot lie. We wrestle not against flesh and blood which is very true. He Satin already got a lot of people fooled on Earth such as atheist and even numerous religious people. The cherubim fallen Angel Satan is not human and he truly is the god of this world. It's not possible for God/Christ to lie. He has powers that humans don't have and when they see flying saucers UFOs these are demonic entities but these are not extraterrestrials from some other planet. Also the Bible gives explicit warnings on things not to do such as tarot cards, horoscopes, palm reading, idol worship, sex out of marriage, swearing or go to somebody who calls up familiar spirits even those who practice yoga precautions are given. Even marking your skin with tattoos. This is evil in God's sight. Seen a guy wearing earrings yesterday religious offender had a mouth of evil. When you use your mouth to swear ungodly language you're building up a rap sheet, you're storing up wrath, storing up sin and when you die it all becomes due payment. You will give an account for every Idle word without true biblical salvation. This is a price you can't afford to pay because it's your soul and you don't die only your body dies and you will find yourself in a place called hell for all of eternity burning in the unquenched fire. So at the end God exists and you will have all eternity in excruciating pain to remember what a fool you were and that God told you the truth and the devil outsmarted you. Do you want this to be your fate? Look around everything doesn't exist out of meer chance. In the morning people get up and go to work some in car factory building cars. They don't just get made at the twinkling of an eye. There's Bibles everywhere try picking one up and reading for a little bit. Ask yourself what is the meaning of life and why are you here? Seek and you will find. Knock on the door will be open onto you. You can pray in the name of Jesus. Open the Bible read all the verses that say who God and Jesus is. And when you're finished reading pray a little bit and have faith and eventually you might realize God is real and Christ said he came to give sight to the blind. He also came to take it away from those who think they see. They honor him in all the wrong ways. Is this going to be you or are you going to open the Bible and start reading and care about where your soul goes. The Bible says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It tells us don't fear man who can kill the body but fear  God who can send body and soul into hell. The wages of sin is death remember that. You don't want to fail the test of life but you want to be in a place called heaven not hell and salvation is of the Lord. I encourage you to read the Bible and I would recommend the King James Bible. Jesus gave his life for you and without the shedding of blood there would be no forgiveness of sins. All your sins can be wiped out and you can be on the way to heaven instead of hell.
