AT this moment, does god know which shirt I am going to pick tomorrow (if you say no, then he is not all knowing)
Many people don't want to believe in a god because they don't want anything having power over them. The most interesting aspect of that is people equated knowledge with force. Does anyone pray to fortune cookies or magic 8 balls? If you go into the future and find out Obama wins the US presidency does your knowledge somehow make him win?
Of course not.
Fortune tellers don't have power over you, neither does god (at least the Christian god who emphasized free will). Being all knowing is just knowing the choices you are going to make ahead of time, not forcing you to make that particular choice. if you think about it, if you were a god it'd be hard to have any following if you treated your followers like that.
I am not sure about the other religions though.
Hope that helps.
