Why Is Atheism So Important?

What good will atheism do when it's only a temporary condition?
It offers no hope for those who claim to be its follower; as a matter of fact, it takes away hope from those who need to have hope. It's a wonder why we have so many suicides.
It'll never win against the Truth of God being that it's a lie from the very beginning knowing that no lie can win out against the Truth of God.
Those who claim to follow it refuse to support it giving the lame excuse that they don't have to support it. Why? Do they know deep in their hearts that it really is a lie? If that is so, why do they keep following it? Do they really hate God that much?
Atheism is for the dead and not the living. As Jesus said in Luke 20:38, "For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”
Understand, I'm seeking answers and not arguments.

While there is no such thing as a celestial God of any kind, religions do serve a very useful purpose in human societies. When you compare societies that have had a strong religion, regardless of what it was, to those that didn't, you will see that the strong religious ones were more advanced in comparison to those that didn't. The religious ones made significant advancements in such things as architecture, medicine, reading and writing.

Societies that have had a strong religion have been able to focus their creative efforts on things that will improve their overall quality of life.

As you know, there have been numerous attempts at creating secular political societies, but they have all been unsuccessful because the majority of people simply don’t believe in the basic political idea of the particular movement. That is why people tossed slavery, the KKK, fascism, Nazism, and are dropping communism. None of those political movements provided the social attractiveness that religions offer.

Although religions are based on fairytales, they are necessary in order to maintain strong societies because there are no credible alternatives at this time.
