"I like how the song refers to "god haters" as having faith in god because "god haters" are theists, not atheists as many christians seem to think. "
Actually you are wrong. If somebody believes that god exists and hates him, then he is a theist. If a person does not believe a god exists and hates the followers of such a silly concept... he is indeed an atheist.
"Uh-oh...big danger sign. I don't want to die alone! Well, when you discover there is a God (He says knock and the door will be opened to you, and I know from experience that God is there) who created you, of course you want to be with Him. "
lol and how is this not your subconscious? how is this nothing more than feeling good for finding a crutch? Neuroscience is showing that there is actually a place in the brain that is responsible for "religious" experiances. Also how is your religious experiance any more true or any better than the religious experiance of say... a hindu? a buddhist? or taoist? or a muslim? and if there is a god who says its your christian god? there are literaly hundreds of thousands of gods believed in or that have been believed in... your god has no more credibility than any of the others.
religion comes down to culture, it comes down to societal memes evolving and passing down from generation to generation. I suggest you read up on memetics, very interesting indeed.
religion is something that the human social animal has developed to create harmony in the society we need to survive and thrive in, just like governemtn, currency, laws, ect ect.
