Doe it really matter if God exists or not...?

Does it really matter if I'm atheist? Or a buddhist, christian, etc..

Very mature of you, but humans are social animals and when a belief becomes a mass religion, it dons the appearance of a culture. This is why it becomes a talking piece.

Is the beginning of the first sentence sarcastic? Having some difficulty wondering if you're being serious or not

I actually like it when people in general have this mindset with religion. Alot of negative things that happen in the name of religion to everyone and to people of religion just wouldn't happen if people stop trying to make laws or make other people live their lives based on those beliefs. 

Truth is, I used to be very involved with religion. However, I was brainwashed into religious extremism (not by my parents thankfully). Ever since snapping out of it, I've always preferred to keep it to myself. Forcing beliefs have never created anything good.
