Yes there would be, We would have to decide what to call ourselves. "The United Atheist Alliance","The Allied Atheist Allegiance" and "The Unified Atheist League"
Do christians believe in god because They want to be at one with god or They want to go to heaven?
Why would they need a reason to believe?
So you are saying they believe for no reason, because they are told to? (Going over that, I think some actually do believe in god for no reason). They have no self choice over the matter?
I meant, it's more of a thing they know. It is possible to conclude that your existence is full of purpose endowed by a benevolent deity. Of course, you may also have to indulge in fallacies and cognitive dissonance as well, but these are not reasons to believe, as some deal struck for your faith.
I see Toofast, Probably cause it tastes nice, but you don't know if they all like it lol and yeah I realised it was a generalised question (after). I was kinda meaning actual chrstians to answer.
I'm a tiny bit confused though, You guys arn't christian / catholic, right?

...Christians tried to brain-wash me when I was little lol.
Every Wednesday, At my primary school, A guy would come in to our room and tell us about "The wonders of god + Jebus". He would then perform simple magic tricks, and tell us God was the cause of the trick to work.
I.E : He had 2 "bean" shaped cards (this one was just a optical illusion). He told us (aswell as prayed to god for his help at that point in time) that god was changing the size of the cards, and was doing it to show us his love. (the trick) http://www.csiro.au/helix/sciencemail/activities/curvedcards.html
It worked too, untill I was 10, I believed that god existed, I didn't go to church but shit, Did I pray for him, on what I thought was, My death bed (at times).
I also hated the songs... God, I hate the songs... Song is in an old tune... I think they used the same type of styled songs in "James and the giant peach"

How is god not bound by time, yet created earth and what not in seven days?
I just can't accept that he (god) has been around 'forever' there must've been a point in 'time' when he did not exist and he was created/somehow created himself (see big bang theory )
Well, time was created with the universe.
So if something created the universe, they also created time. Thus are not bound by the rules of time.
The word like 'forever' indicates time, the concept of time is hard wired into our brains, so it's hard to comprehend the non-existence of it. But "before" the universe existed, time did not exist, so there's no concept of something being around forever.
A Place without time, would be nothing? You are right, that it has been "hard wired" to our brains, But i'm pretty sure thats because its just... I can't think of a better term to describe it than "common physics". Nothing can grow old, in a place without time, Infact, Can anything even move, in a place without time?
Please don't suddenly turn around now and say "dats heaven!"
Because god doesn't conform to the concept of time, but the earth does.
--Does not understand how you can't "Conform" to time--
I see time as being inescapeable. Time is just a measurement of the age of the something. Time wasn't created, but just was / is. It sounds like god was around before anything existed (including god).
No clue if i'm talking in such a fucked up way that people can't understand me or... Don't troll me if i'm wrong, I just want answers
Deeunit, that athiest image is silly, Just because some athiest's (including me) say that science did it, not "god", doesn't mean some athiest's (including me) saying its nothing.
Answer me this, GetSome
What I don't understand is, how can Religeous people say "god HAD to have created earth, what else could of?", and also say "how did the big bang happen, they (atoms.. particles.. what ever caused the big bang) can't of just BEEN there". YET, say that God was ALWAYS there, and NOTHING made god.
It might not be the high ass scientific shit you guys are all talking about, but I want some answers.
