Peace be on you.
Perhaps, rather surely, you are not understanding the God in Islam. Let's try again.
1- God made everyone.
2- Sent Messengers with His commandments.
3- These commandments comprised two parts: Pay rights of God and Pay rights of people.
4- Messengers, like caring mother do their best, despite suffering persecution.
5- Denying God has two aspects:
a) Just deny God and His message and live a normal life, do not hurt anyone etc..
b) Deny God and become active in persecuting those who believe in God and His Messenger, with words and actions. These persecutors are never peaceful people in their own sphere of society. They commit all kinds of atrocities to gain earthly powers.
6- God and His Messengers try their best to save the society from decline, for example:
[7:86] And to Midian We sent their brother Shu‘aib. He said, ‘O my people, worship Allah; you have no other deity but Him. A clear Sign has indeed come to you from your Lord. So give full measure and full weight, and diminish not unto people their things, and create not disorder in the earth after it has been set in order. This is better for you, if you are believers.
[7:87] ‘And sit not on every path, threatening and turning away from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking to make it crooked. And remember when you were few and He multiplied you. And behold, what was the end of those who created disorder!
[7:89] The chief men of his people who were arrogant said, ‘Assuredly, we will drive thee out, O Shu‘aib, and the believers that are with thee, from our town, or you shall have to return to our religion.’ He said: ‘Even though we be unwilling?
[7:90] ‘We have indeed been forging a lie against Allah, if we now return to your religion after Allah has saved us therefrom. And it behoves us not to return thereto except that Allah, our Lord, should so will. Our Lord comprehends all things in His knowledge. In Allah have we put our trust. So O our Lord, decide Thou between us and between our people with truth, and Thou art the Best of those who decide.’
[7:91] And the chief men of his people who disbelieved said, ‘If you follow Shu‘aib, you shall then certainly be the losers.’
[7:92] So the earthquake seized them and in their homes they lay prostrate upon the ground.
[7:93] Those who accused Shu‘aib of lying became as if they had never dwelt therein. Those who accused Shu‘aib of lying — it was they who were the losers.
7- Messengers do their best, for example Noah:
[71:6] He said, “My Lord, I have called my people night and day,
[71:7] “But my calling them has only made them flee from me all the more.
[71:8] “And every time I called them that Thou mightest forgive them, they put their fingers into their ears, and covered up their hearts, and persisted in their iniquity, and were disdainfully proud.
[71:9] “Then, I called them to righteousness openly.
[71:10] “Then I preached to them in public, and also spoke to them in private.
[71:11] “And I said, ‘Seek forgiveness of your Lord; for He is the Great Forgiver.
[71:12] ‘He will send down rain for you in abundance,
[71:13] ‘And He will strengthen you with wealth and with children, and He will give you gardens and He will give you rivers.
[71:14] ‘What is the matter with you that you expect not wisdom and staidness from Allah?
[71:15] ‘And He has created you in different forms and different conditions.
[71:16] ‘Have you not seen how Allah has created seven heavens in perfect harmony,
[71:17] ‘And has placed the moon therein as a light, and made the sun as a lamp?
[71:18] ‘And Allah has caused you to grow as a good growth from the earth,
[71:19] ‘Then will He cause you to return thereto, and He will bring you forth a new bringing forth.
[71:20] ‘And Allah has made the earth for you a wide expanse
[71:21] ‘That you may traverse the open ways thereof.’”
[71:22] Noah said, “My Lord, they have disobeyed me, and followed one whose wealth and children have only added to his ruin.
[71:23] “And they have planned a mighty plan.
[71:24] “And they say to one another, ‘Forsake not your gods under any circumstances. And forsake neither Wadd, nor Suwa‘, nor Yaghuth and Ya‘uq and Nasr.’
[71:25] “And they have led many astray; so increase Thou not the wrongdoers but in error.”
[71:26] Because of their sins they were drowned and made to enter Fire. And they found no helpers for themselves against Allah.
