Satan has sought many inventions to lead man astray. One of those inventions is atheism. Satan would rather you believe in nothing than to believe in God.

The believers do it more often than the non-believers. Here's an excellent quote from Karen Armstrong (http://www.salon.com/books/int/2006/05/30/armstrong/print.html); it's not an easy-to-understand quote so, please, read it carefully:
"Sometimes, I think the way monotheists talk about God is unreligious. People will say God loves that, God wills that, and God despises the other. And very often, the opinions of the deity are made to coincide exactly with those of the speaker. I think God is often used by religious people to give egotism a sacred seal of divine approval, rather than to take you beyond the ego."

Maybe because most of the people who don't believe in god, at one time did believe in god.
I was a christian for 16 years. I know how christians think, and I know their dogma and beliefs very well.
I also have the point of view of a skeptic so I can approach the concept of god from both perspectives.
I am quite qualified to explain your god.

I don't try to explain anything unless I'm asked. Besides, why is it that Christians are always trying to shove God down everyone else's throat? If they're so allmighty and all-knowing, then show me where in the Ten Commandments does it say, "Thou shalt recruit every non-believing soul you can find by shoving my name down their throat!" You can't FORCE someone to believe in something that they know full well to themselves does NOT exist.
Live ye shall, and let to live. That is part of the Wiccan Rede. We as witches do not force our beliefs on others, and so should no one else try to force their beliefs on the rest of the world whose beliefs differ from theirs.

I wished you would ALWAYS read your own questions a couple of times BEFORE posting them.
English is not my first language but besides having trouble with your spelling i have trouble with your sentence structure. AND with the logic behind it.
Not mentioning my worries about your attitude.

It is easy to explain who mythical beings are and the can represent anything your mind can associate with them.

Those who don't believe in your god don't believe they were created by him/her/it, but that humans created him/her/it.

yea, it's like building a skyscraper without a blueprint. You can try to explain it to somebody, but it can't be built without the blueprint.
