Why don't you believe in a god?

So I have yet to see a good answer as to why we should listen to God and belive in him and not fairies and unicorns and cyclops and other such creatures which have exactly as much evidence as any god in any religion.

That's ok. Nobody's forcing you to believe in anything. You choose to believe in what you want that's sorta how free will works. If you don't believe in God now, most likely you're not going to believe in him later. Most people don't change.

Why does God creating the universe mean we should do what he says though? Because of the threat of hell if we don't?

What happens to that statistic if you remove:

- Those changing from one type of Christianity to another, since the belief in God and Jesus remains so it isn't a change of faith as much, more a change of approach to worship.
- Those changing in order to get married, since it's probable they didn't do that freely.
- Those changing immediately after leaving their parents, since it's likely they believed the other thing all along and didn't want to admit it.

At a guess, that would remove a lot of changes. I'm speculating, but I think free-choice changes of religion are quite rare.
