Good people often do good in the name of God - but that is proof of their goodness, not of God's existence.
Apologies, but this section is not ready.
Some of the issues are covered in
Doing good for God. The topic will be fully explored on this page in
November 2008.

Can faith move mountains?
People create God in their own image.
What happens when they not only believe in God but put their
faith into action?
The results are predictable: good people do good things in the
name of religion and bad people do bad things. They act in
God's name but God is irrelevant.

Chapter 6
A Moral Code
Religion makes a strong claim to morality - only God and faith,
apparently, keep us moral.
It's a nice idea, but it's totally false. A close examination of
religion indicates how immoral it is - only humanist values
guarantee a truly ethical approach to life.

If God existed, he would...
admire the beauty of a universe that he did not create
recognize that eternity is meaningless
deny both heaven and hell
disown all men and women who speak in his name
denounce the harm caused by religious "morality"
help the human race to thrive without him
If God existed, he would be an atheist.
