Why Can't Atheists Just Go Ahead and Believe?

I mean, wouldn't that be a lot easier? No more arguments about stuff. No more worry about religionists proselytizing their particular belief system. If atheists would just stop thinking and fall in line, things would be way, way better, don't you think? I mean, they could just accept what everyone else knows to be true and get on with their lives, right?

Atheists should just give up their silly non-belief and go along with what most people do. They wouldn't even have to change anything about how they act. They could just look around and see that it doesn't really matter how you act, as long as you say you believe. Just look at the current President. He says he believes, but pays no attention to any of the rest of that religion nonsense. Same thing with right-wing fundamentalists. They believe, but they feel free to be racists, bigots, misogynists and all sorts of other evil crap.

C'mon, you atheists. Just accept what everyone else believes. It's easy.

Whatever this is supposed to be, I have no doubt that it has to do with Rockhead believing himself to be intelligent, which he is not, and there is no argument that can be made to change that fact.

MM bravely and sagely answers a question pretty much nobody asks.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Even implying that liberbulls/regressives think, fliès in the face of reality. 
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

These atheists ARE believers.   They BELIEVE there is NO creator.  They are no better than those that believe the opposite.

Most atheists (if not all) do NOT not believe in God.  They just hate Him and people who love Him.

Not trying to start a fight on purpose, but it appears to me that there are far more atheists out there that we don't even know about than there are what I were refer to as "hatetheists". Those are the ones who have come to their own conclusions, but are civil human beings who have no desire to humiliate or otherwise disparage others for their own beliefs.
We mostly only hear from the rabid assholes who just happen to be atheists. In fact, I'd bet there are quite a few atheists right here at the cave, they just happen to NOT be assholes. there really are a lot of them out there, we just don't hear from them. they aren't offended by your mere presence because they are not emotionally weak or insecure.
Rockhead is just a textbook example of someone emotionally insecure in his own beliefs to the point where he feels he must hate and humiliate others in his quest to convince himself that he's not the inferior asshole that we all see him as.
But there it is...  he just reinforces our conclusions every single day

I can go with that. 

I think there is generally a direct correlation between self-identified atheist vitriol/volume and there actual belief of and hate for God.
