Why do they waste their time commenting on a "non-existant" God? Like if i dont believe that something exist why would i talk about it or refer to it if its not there?

Well, I don't believe a god exists, but I also don't believe in talking frogs, so I suppose I shouldn't acknowledge Kermit the Frog passing conversations? Maybe I'm not getting what you are stating because it wasn't articulated well, but if I'm understanding what you are trying to say, because we don't believe in something, we should never talk about it? That's a flawed logic.
Humans discuss things all the time that do not exist or are not tangible. I acknowledge that 95% of the people on this planet believe in some type of spiritual deity. I just happen to not believe. This causes discourse, which I am particularly fond of when it happens in a courteous and well-thoughtout manner. During said discourse, I do have to refer to the concept of a god in order to actually take part, otherwise, it's a one-sided conversation, with me not saying anything. And that's just boring.
So cheers, enjpy your particular brand of faith, and I'll enjoy mine.

Atheists are retarded. How do you KNOW there is no God? Did you create the universe? I used to be an atheist. When I was 10 years old. Cells, sub-atomic particles and the like KNOW what do and when to do it with none of the senses we use and no consciousness. They seem to possess super-human intelligence. What makes this possible? Wait, never mind. I forgot it's just random coincidence.

An actual god does not exist, but the concept of god does. When an atheist or an agnostic refers to "god", they are referring to the concept, not the guy-in-the-sky.

We are trying to help you get a grip on reality. Our civilization will stall unless we leave the mythology behind and begin dealing with our laws, sciences, politics etc. with a secular outlook.

I've come to believe they are primates that were evolving here on earth before God created man and like most monkeys they are fascinated by the things we do. They express the desire to be intelligent but don't seem to have the ability to accomplish it, I believe they are jealous of our intellect. You can tell this by their belittling ways, they claim to be intelligent by using ignorant comments. I guess they are doing the best they can though.

Because so many people DO believe God exists.
To us atheists, religious people are like children: They believe certain things, but their beliefs are ignorant and immature, and so they are in need of education. In a way it is a kindness to religious people to attempt to correct their illogical views, just as it is a kindness to a child to educate them, even if they don't like the idea at the time. Believe me, it isn't any different with people who hold other incorrect viewpoints, I try to educate them too if I see them.

Because some people do believe in it and make very important decisions based on that belief.

Believers don't make much sense to us... Are they insane? Confused? Playing along?
