Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

And how do you deny hundreds of years of advancement in all fields of science?

IT does not matter, mainly because it does not exist.

A belief in a god is not the problem.

What are some disadvantages of living in rural areas? What are the advantages?

Notice that I said their rules, not any gods rules.

Do you think the constitution and laws should be taught in school?

My problem is that people who try to shove their rules down everyone's throats - including by physical force - DO EXIST .

Because these are not any gods rules we are talking about.
