Does God exist? Or, is there a God?

Most people have heard the statement, "There are no atheists in foxholes". There has been great debate over the years about who the original "orator" was. There is an organization that is working on dispelling that notion however. The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers has managed to round up 200 members worldwide of the current population of 7.4 Billion. The Hagel plan last year stated, "the active-duty Army would shrink from its current 522,000 soldiers to between 440,000 and 450,000. That would make it the smallest since just before the US entered World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941." If they do shrink to around 450,000, the prospects of MAAF picking up new recruits doesn't look good. Psalm 14:1, Psalm 53:1(KJV)

While doing some Independence day reading found: "Of all the systems of religion thet ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to the man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity" "I believe in the equality of man, and I believe that religious duties consist of doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy....I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. All national institutions of churches whether Jewish, christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit"
Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason
can you not examine what religion does to the eople of the world?
