There certainly seems to be no evidence that "God" gives a damn about or has any control of what happens here.
To make my point clear, what people BELIEVE is important as it impacts the way they live; usually trying to convince other to believe as they do, or forcing their beliefs on others via laws, if they can.
Out of beliefs has come some beautiful music, and a lot of killing in "his" name.
My question is: Why does it matter if the God people believe in actually exists or not?

It matters because it is the truth. It is reality. It is real. It is logic to live by. It is science to die by. It is hope for the future in a paradigm that makes complete sense of the universe and existence. It explains why we are here, why we die and our purpose in the future.
