A question for Christians AND atheists

In addition, I have an extreme distaste for religion people who only want your money. How many of you have gone to any church where they didn't want your money? I bet not a single person.

Are you making the argument that because a church asks for donations, that's a reason to believe that god does or doesn't exist? Because that's a pretty weak case for atheism right there.

Say what you will about the Catholic Church (and I disagree with many of their positions myself), but their charities have helped millions of people in need.

I also have to argue the point made by many of the atheists that people who believe in God are so concerned with the next world that we can't fully enjoy this one. It's not true. I'm thankful for every day I'm alive.
