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

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

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

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?

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

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