I have noticed that the majority of people in here who claim to be atheists are not really atheists.
They just are mad at God for whatever reasons.

The world grapples with the question of belief in God. The vast number of different religions, already tells us that humans have been grasping at the divine, from the very beginning.
This alone speaks to the existence of God, actually. All humans have an innate desire for something — an emptiness in their souls, that longs for fulfillment. God made us with a conscience that makes us aware of our Maker and that's why God gave us a conscience to know right from wrong, so we could make choices. Along with choices comes responsibility and that's where the rub comes in. Many don't want to be accountable for their own actions. They want to do what they will, even if it hurts other people. It is our spirit that longs for fellowship with God. That's the way we are made. Filling this hole/void in our spirit, with worldly desires like riches, power, and sensual pleasures, might distract us for a little while, but it's ultimately unfulfilling. If money and power made people happy, then people like movie stars wouldn't be killing themselves. Some just don't know how to fill that void. They neglect it, because people don't like choices or change, and they think it's going to make things worse, but the complete opposite is true.
It comes down to two choices. First, you can trust in mankind's limited knowledge. Religions, philosophies, "isms," and more, were made by humans desperately looking for answers. But humanity's reasoning can only go so far, as it starts with itself and ends with itself.
The second option is to "lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). Instead, lean on God. Many equate trust in God, to a rejection of logic or reason. But belief in God, doesn't mean you aren't using reason. In fact, it's the act of seeking God, that can open your eyes and grants you wisdom (Psalm 119:18,Proverbs 8). Scripture tells us that God is Truth, and the truth sets us free...in body, mind and Spirit.
