  How does God view atheist and devotees?

  1) he views devotees with disgust; because they use god as a means to fulfillment of their materialistic ends, and they constantly pester him with request to violate his own laws (principle of action and consequence).

  hence devotees are materialistic in its true sense.

  they even interpolate things into scriptures to suit their convenienceas confirmed by prophet jeremiah himself (jeremiah 7:22; 8:8).

  You seem to view BKs are invincible. How can anybody recruit you without your consent? And further OP is all about praising unselfish service to the society—something which no one can be scared of, but something that anybody would welcome with whole heart.

  We know that one thing leads to the other. If you trace the cause, you may end up here on earth itself, not in heaven.

  Spirit of the post is this:

  1) Atheists are better than devotees.

  2) The unselfish ones, though they are not worshiping God, are supported by God without they being aware of.

  Just try the third group, and see for yourself what happens. You have nothing to lose, but definitely to gain

Hence devotees are materialistic in its true sense. They even interpolate things into scriptures to suit their convenience—as confirmed by Prophet Jeremiah himself (Jeremiah 7:22; 8:8)

  2) He views the atheists impartially; because they believe they have to work themselves to get fulfillment of their materialistic ends, and know that the more they work the more results they get. Thus they support the arrangement (principle of action and consequence) of God—though unwittingly.

  3) The third category of people do not worship God, but do things in such a way God would do if He were present here on earth. Their lives are like a lamp (guidance) to others, and do everything to elevate others through their thoughts, speech and action. Just like the seed whose only duty is to sprout and grow to become a tree producing fruits and giving shade to others, they too live a life of service. These people are secretly supported by God.

  Death is not something to be feared!

  science can explain how of things, but it cannot explain why of certain things (for example, why did life arise from non-life and evolved from simpler creatures to more complex life forms only to die and disappear?

  ) so are the conflicted religions whose chief concern is in safeguarding each ones separate identity..

  next option is to look for pearls among the stonesusing power of our own reason.

  I just try to imitate God who is alike to both theists and atheist. The best description about God I have ever heard is that He is like sun whose concern is to give light (of knowledge) and heat (empowering qualities), and never receives anything back from us. Likewise I too just express myself. How others view it—it is their choice.

  Anyhow, thank you for the kind words. I was a JW for some time. After Bible study with them, they told me that I should have a practice of reading the Bible daily; thus I started reading one chapter each daily. When reached Jeremiah, I stopped reading and association with JW—especially where Jeremiah himself admits that much of the Bible is interpolated—Jeremiah 7:22; 8:8.

  Then I turned into a person who takes good from all religions, being blind to all their negatives.
