Why would anyone claim to be an Atheist ?

I have pondered this question many many times, and I cannot see any reason whatsoever a human being would say there " is no God " for any other reason besides massive self pride. Please correct me if I am wrong.

To accept that we were created by God would mean that we are very insignificant , and feeble , and at the mercy of a supreme being. This wouldn't sit well with a prideful person. Ironic how Jesus and the Apostles always tell us to be humble , and meek. Maybe they knew that by being humble and meek, we could actually have a strong , unshakable faith in something other then ourselves.

The fact is we are feeble.The human body is frail in comparison to the volatile planet we live on , and the dangerous activities we undertake. Some say we are the " top of the food chain " , I disagree. I say we are sometimes the top of the food chain , sometimes we are killed by bears , sharks, and mountain lions. We can die in so many many ways, and really at any time we could be in our last day , or days.

Maybe some atheists are just super skeptical people that have no belief in life after death ? Yet there have been so many testimonials of people being outside of their own bodies during Near death experiences. Some of these people have described the wiring patterns of the spaces between the floors of hospitals,as they were floating upwards through the building, that they had no possible way of knowing. Other people , tens of thousands have seen, heard, and spoken to ghosts , or spirits of the dead. Yet the atheists do not believe .

It has been rather apparent to me over my adult life that atheists are mostly very unhappy people, that love to cause strife, and arguments , while people of faith are generally peaceful and kind. Granted this is not always the case , but far and away Christians are much more kind then proclaimed atheists . Maybe it is because they have hope in life everlasting. Maybe it is because the supernatural spirit of Christ is with them in the literal sense.

My thoughts always go back to the risk and reward. Heaven and hell. If an atheist is correct it is of no gain to them , or to anyone. We die , and that's that . If a Christian is correct, we get to have the peace in our hearts while we live, we are hopeful, pleasant, help the poor, sing songs of praise etc. THEN we go to an eternal paradise just as Jesus himself claimed we would.

What is the reward for being an atheist ?
