To bad for you. You're avoiding getting to know certain people due to your own ill conceived expectations of who they are and how you think they will react to your beliefs.
I'm a staunch atheist and my best friend is a born again christian. We respect each other due to who we are not what we believe.
Your god if he existed would be disappointed in your closed minded attitude.
I would never want to have anyone in my life who would say something like this to me. Sorry but that is very rude and very indicative of the disrespectful attitudes of nonbelievers. I have no room for entertaining such negativity in my life.

Another example of the rudeness that is typical of atheists.
Atheists do not occupy any significant portion of my thoughts or concerns on a regular basis. If I happen to cross paths in my life with someone who is an atheist, I do not attempt to convert them into being believers or impose my views of faith on them...I just simply avoid them (if possible).
I am not on a personal crusade against nonbelievers, I just do not care to have them as a part of my inner circle because faith is such a big part of my life. I do not want to deal with having atheists push back every time I say "God bless you" or "Wow, what a blessing", etc. I would not be able to express myself without fear that the atheist would be constantly offended about my numerous daily references to God, Jesus, spirituality, etc.
My belief in God and in heaven are rock solid. I have no desire to "debate" it with people who are skeptics and always looking for an opportunity to spout their nonbeliever beliefs. I hope that the atheists have good lives, that they have an internal moral barometer of some sort and that they will one day have God revealed to them and have Him to touch their lives in a beautiful way.
There are some believers who think like this who have " Sectioned themselves off away from society", and created their own " Little holy citys." In this manner they don't have to come in contact with " Us sinners." They take the biblical adnomition to " Come out from amoung them- literally." Perhaps you may consider joining such a group.

You confuse honesty with rudeness. YOU are the one believing in mythological deities, not us.

The structure of my life is perfectly fine. No need to join a "group"

No, that was rude (with the undertone of the bitterness of a person who is in a constant state of battle to espouse their atheistic views)

ETA: I find it interesting that none of the atheists who have responded to any of my posts have been kind or nice in any of their replies. All of the responses have been prickly, snarky and full of condescension.
People would still do all the stupid and bad things they do now, minus convincing themselves that such ideas or actions were somehow "god's will."
People are still people whether they're religious or not. God would just be replaced by something else to muck the world up, namely lust for power and greed. Funny enough, things are that way now with the majority of the world believing in a god.
