Sorry, but you aren't an atheist. A true atheist would make an actual argument about why God can't exist and why no religion can be true. You've only stated a common little patchwork code of people that don't understand a system of law and punishment. I'll try to help you as much as possible, but I doubt it'll work for you.
1. God exists. That's already been proven on this website through science and the Bible itself.
2. God created everything. Everything that is or was is because God made it.
3. God is holy. He's perfect and cannot have sin in His presence, therefore sinners must be sent to hell.
4. God is gracious and merciful. Knowing that we can't exist in His presence because of our sin, He sent His own son (Jesus, God in the flesh) to take our sins upon Himself and die on the cross for them, so that anyone who will believe can be saved.
5. God has standards. There are no morals without God. Making a point that you're a good person because you haven't killed anyone is invalid and false. People can think all day that they're good, because our standards are indefinitely flawed. God's standards are perfect, and to conform to them, we have to trust in Jesus.
Get it?
