In Christian perspective of course. So did god took advantage of me when he created me, since I don't have the freewill to decide wheter I want to continue to exist or not exist? assuming that i'm going to be an atheist when I die.

Before you existed, some of the cells that make you up existed in your father, and some in your mother. As to freewill about whether or not you existed, I would say it would make more sense to take up this issue with your mother and father. God didn't take advantage of you. Your parents conceived you. God gave the ability to mankind to reproduce. Your parents had to choose each other. In this sense, the majority of the blame then is on them. Change either parent, and you would not be you.
You may be an atheist when you die. But in a split second thereafter, you will be a theist. And you may not believe it now, but you will be happy for it!

The Christian religion ignores that. Before you were born, you existed outside the physical universe where there is no time and space according to the science of Cosmology (last part, not first part). See short article on site below on how you can use this to feel perfect peace and boundless joy.

Before you had a name, a specific reference of existence, you simply existed in blank possibility; a glass of water as yet unrealized and unseperated within an ocean. A glass of water understands itself as a seperate entity from that of the ocean from which it was made, when it is returned to the ocean, it loses that recognition and understanding except so much that it becomes part of the communal memory.

In God's care. "I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born " Isaiah 44:2
"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,...everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him" Col 1:16
So the free will is only within God's will for us. So as you have a lot of choices here on earth, there are only two choices what comes to eternity: hell and heaven. Those are your choices.

I've always understood that you were nothing before your existence on Earth. When you were conceived, you received a body and a soul.

You were in the mind of God, and in your free will choice, based solely on your own decisions, with your own intellect, you were denying the source of your every blessing. You deny God because it is what you have decided to do. And if you deny yourself Heaven or choose Hell for yourself. You have no right to deny God.
