What a vain little god that god must be! Why would an omnipotent being give a stale cookie whether anyone worships [him] or not?
So your god has no idea why people act as they do, how the forces of genetics and environment result in human conduct? Isn't [he] said to be omniscient? If so, that can't be correct.
Because if it were, [his] remedy for people who are deficient or broken would not be to torture them, but to heal them.
I deplore the mentality you attribute to [him] as primitive, ignorant and brutish. You're more than welcome to [him] as long as you keep [him] to yourself.
You are constantly deceiting and misunderstanding God.
Your main question is: "How is he the most merciful if good mannered atheists would go to hell?"
Just imagine 2 workers in a company, they are both diligent, industrious and well mannered, but one of them keeps denying the fact that the owner of that company is actually the owner because he never saw him, while the other admits normally. Don't you think this guy is going to be hated by the owner? Like he's literally saying that the company's owner doesn't even exsist!
Messengers were sent to him by the owner to warn him about what he's doing and even tho he knows if he doesn't confess and truly admits his exsistence, he is going to get punished, despite that he is still denying the fact because he never saw him! Ironically this guy also believes in air but can't see it but it was proven that it exsists by examining and learning about the surroundings and the environment and thats exactly what science does.
That guy also doesn't have any basis for what actual good manners should be, he's just picking according to his opinion, feelings, thoughts, logic and maybe he thinks there is no problem with stealing some bucks everyday from the cashier because the owner isn't going to die from hunger if he does that, is he?
Actually this guy is just picking what to believe is to be correct and what to deny according to his personal feelings and his personal logic, without considering the perspectives of others and literal miracles very arrogantly, then crying furiously when he gets fired or punished for how delusional and arrogant he is.
God is the most merciful and the most just for those who deserve and believe but for those who denyed his exsistence, denyed heaven, hell and afterlife even when a messenger came and warned them with literal miracles that exsist till now, then they shouldn't be angry when the get punished! Should they?
You're like saying that killers, stealers and people who deny the exsistence of an owner (as in the example) should be healed by God/Owner with love and tenderness and he should respect them (even tho they denyed his exsistence and disrespected him, like how is this even logical?) instead of punishing them cruely not because he is cruel, but to make it a clear lesson for all, so that nobody exploits a flawed, unperfect and broken system (if no punishments were present.)
In short: Atheists will never be 100% sure about their beliefs because they are contradicted and not all of them are scientific, like science has never proved what good manners are and whether God exists, In fact it has contributed to inviting more people to be religious and to believe in God which would be a much more understandable life that actually has a purpose and not just derived from random scientific coincidences. Just ask yourself: Why do you think we are here for? And do you really think that after you die you would just see a black screen and that's it?
My God puts a base for good manners and a logical purpose for why we exsist in the first place, he tells us to be kind, donate to charity, be sociable, positive, diligent and seek education, science and we worship him because we WANT to ,and we believe in his mercy and justice before anything else.
What's the problem with such God or religion to be widespread? It's always going to be widespread whether you like it or not and I would never keep such wonderful God only for myself because if you still deny there are millions more who are converting to believe after confessing to be delusionals.
