The God Logic

When we were young we didn't know we would die, the assumption was we're immortal. That delusion came quickly to an end as reality stepped in.

Human:
Mortal
Locally Present
Limited Ability
Visible
Vulnerable
Limited Knowledge
Fallible

God:
Immortal
Omnipresent
Omnipotent
Invisible
Invulnerable
All-knowing
Infallible

To have God in your life is to remind yourself of your humanity. To expel God from your life as non-existent is to proclaim that, by default, you are God as no other exists. It is merely a means of debate that will rule in favor of the reality of that situation. To have God in your life isn't indoctrination, it's a logical choice. Without that, reason flies out the window in favor of passion and egotism driving the individual. This is a choice as well.
Free-Will, it is a bitch.

The God you serve now is your future self.

Mind = Blown.

I actually never thought I was immortal, not to my recollection.  Maybe before 3, but I distinctly remember a conversation when I was talking about a real person having died at age 4; I didn't attend school until age 5 and didn't make the distinction of a "[unique] God" until a year or two later.

I figure IHBT but I may as well roll with the punches.  I think you're mistaking atheism and solipsism.  In fact, solipsism doesn't even require substitution of god as most of the time the solipsist realizes they can't grasp control over the delusion that is their mind's reality anyway.  Most people who don't believe in any sort of god don't think they're immortal.
