Atheists don't proseletize.
I've found some very optimistic atheists.
I think you are confusing the Church of No God, a fundamentalist style religion, with atheism. Atheism is not a religion.

Attempted proof by circular. Circular argument fallacy (fundamentalism).Here’s another, bitch. Revel in your willful ignorance. I can provide as many of these same true references as you’d like.
“Yahweh worship also has its roots in an ancient religion of Canaan, the land which God promised to Abraham. Within this polytheistic religion, Yahweh was but one of many deities united under a figure known as El.
These lesser gods included Yahweh, Asherah (El’s consort as well as the religion’s chief mother goddess), and Baal, whose worshippers went on to challenge Yahweh’s supremacy in Israel. Yahweh and Baal were merely two of El’s 70 children.”
Let there be God: How Yahweh became "God Almighty"
In the Canaan religion, Yahweh was a lesser god, who was assigned the land of Israel. Here's how he became "God Almighty."bigthink.com

To this I completely agree. The Bible contains much that is good counsel, which it describes as coming from God.Nice try to spin, fuck you with that.
No form of human morality is better than God's. Ever.

How many more would you like to see that says the same thing? There are hundreds of them on Youtube podcasts by world renowned Biblical scholars. I’ll get one for you.
“Although the biblical narratives depict Yahweh as the sole creator god, lord of the universe, and god of the Israelites especially, initially he seems to have been Canaanite in origin and subordinate to the supreme god El. Canaanite inscriptions mention a lesser god Yahweh and even the biblical Book of Deuteronomy stipulates that “the Most High, El, gave to the nations their inheritance” and that “Yahweh's portion is his people, Jacob and his allotted heritage”
Yahweh
Yahweh is the name of the state god of the ancient Kingdom of Israel and, later, the Kingdom of Judah. His name is composed of four Hebrew consonants (YHWH, known as the Tetragrammaton) which the prophet...

Militant atheists like those @domer76 and his fellows are, indeed, like the aforementioned holy rollers. They are extremists who are unable or unwilling to discuss the philosophy of human spirituality or the science about the Big Bang and the mystery of life.

You can keep your retardation up all day, it don't befront me or how the world works ary a bit.
You're blinded to reality in your quest to deny God.
I can't fix you. All I can do is feel sorry for you.
Pretty fucking sad that someone who claims to have read the Bible three times doesn’t know shit about their own god.
That’s what happens when you’re the stupidest motherfucker on the forum. And you’ll remain that way because you’re intellectually lazy.

I know plenty, you should learn you some. It might would make you a little wiser.
The world works according to the rules God laid down when he made it. Every time. Like clockwork, without fail, ever.
The sooner you realize that, the sooner you'll have a better grasp on everything.
Google "God and God's nature", boy.

Boy, you are nowhere near qualified to make an assessment like that. I could absolutely own you if I wanted to.
We are not the same. You wanna see it happen? You will not like it.
And then there's that thing about how I know how the world works. I've done a lot of things, things that are not to be proud of, yet were done anyway.
But by The Grace of God go I.
I've had 14 lives. Cats have nothing on me.
I think neither the Holy rollers nor the militant atheists want to admit any uncertainty, paradoxes, or irrationality in either of their worldviews.
Reputations and souls are at stake!

I will claim that what God says is the best way, is.

It's extremist behavior: they only see what they want to see and refuse to consider other possibilities. It's one thing to argue one's POV using logic even while conceding that's it's presently unprovable, but it's another to claim only their own view is the "true" view be it atheist or theist.
You don't strike me as particularly pious and devout.I will claim that what God says is the best way, is.
