I am seriously thinking of becoming an atheist. I am starting to see Christianity as nothing more than complicated social rules. I really do believe that Christianity and the Bible is a main cause of my anger issues. I am tired of God playing favorites with those who are married and have children. I am starting to see Christianity as more of a crutch than anything. I don't get give you goals, plans and dreams to God. I really think with as angry as he is, he will mess them up. Seriously, is atheism worth it? It really is not worth it to court a woman, say some vows and raise a child. That to me is hell.

What? I don't fully understand your post. You sound very angry. Some more specifics would help us to understand you. I'd say yes it is worth it. All that I ever got from going to church was many disappointments. So you don't ever want to get married and have kids? Nothing wrong with that man!
Christianity and God is one of the sources of my anger management problem I believe. I am starting to see that it might be a crutch from taking personal responsiblity. I refuse to do anything God tells me to do where I know I am very likely to lose my temper.

Do you really think "god" is telling you to do anything? Or is it your church family people telling you what "god" wants you to do? I have angry church feelings too. Sounds like you need to live on the plane of reality in the real world where life happens by chance and choice and not by some mythical "force" manipulating things and events.
In my opinion the most important thing a being can do is have some common sense about what constitutes a good and decent person. No matter what you choose to believe, the fact is that relations with others must be based on mutual respect for legitimate differences as a start. Anyone who insists on allegiance to any particular "ism" simply doesn't understand the nature of human individuality. Or refuses to.
There are atheists in this world who are more likely than most to make it into the heaven they don't believe in, just as there are pious religious folks who are absolutely going to the hell they've created. Whatever you decide for yourself, make sure it's you who decides.
Except for your Mom, there isn't a person in this world you owe a damned thing to just because you exist.
There's no need to be upset with it. I've been a non-practicing Christan for some time now. A lot of crap about the church organization pisses me off, but religion or lack there of is what you want it to be, not what some church or minister tells you. Do what makes you feel comfortable.
I just don't like the idea of having to talk to God every day. I am not that kind of person who needs a relationship with someone to talk to every day.
You need to understand that atheism is not a choice....You either believe in god or you don't. An Atheist leads the same sort of life as anyone else, just minus the god stuff.
