Yes. God hates pride. Pride is the number one cause for lose of fellowship with God.

Yes for man wants to feel in control of their own destiny. If they believe in God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit they are submitting to something other than their own will. Therefore mans pride will stop him from seeking something or someone higher than himself.

Absolutely.
God reveals his glory and his purpose to God-fearing individuals who are humble and who appreciate their relationship with him.(Proverbs 22:4)
He has revealed to humble ones details regarding the outworking of his purpose. These glorious things remain hidden from those who proudly rely on, or stubbornly cling to, human wisdom or thinking. (1Â Corinthians 2:6-10)
Humility has great value in the eyes of God. Although God does not owe mankind anything, in undeserved kindness he is ready to show mercy and favor to those humbling themselves before him. Such ones show that they are not trusting or boasting in themselves but are looking to him and want to do his will. As the inspired Christian writers James and Peter say: “God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.”—Jas 4:6; 1Pe 5:5.

Yes. A lot of the time, it does. Some people get too scared or prideful to humble themselves in front of God and ask for forgivenness, so they stay away, or become atheist/agnostic where they can say "I believe w/e I want".

Yes.
What drives us away from God? Either pride (we think we can be "God" ourselves and hate submitting to someone larger than ourselves) or shame (which is simply another form of pride -- we can't face the fact that we've erred, so we run away from God or whomever we've offended so that we can avoid losing face).
Part of becoming real people is seeing ourselves as we truly are, especially in relationship to God, and not as we wish we were.

I am not sure why you have "humility" after "God" but yes, pride does stop us from drawing closer to God.

Yup you nailed it, Pride is the root of all evil. The love of money is pride, hatred goes back to pride everything goes back to that one sin. Love on the other hand is the root of all good.

Nice try on attempting to pathologize atheism.
Can you present any evidence to back up the correlation that you are positing?
Or are you taking a weak, poorly aimed swipe at people who are different from you?
Tip for you:

Absolutely yes! After all, PRIDE is the thing that led Lucifer to want to be a god himself. We all know what happened to him!
