I just watched a documentary in which a lot of otherwise rational people are drawn into a discussion about whether or not God exists. I find this discussion pointless, always, and I am surprised at some of the people who are witless enough to be dragged into it. If you continue such a discussion long enough, you will find that belief in God is not the philosophical dividing line that it is often assumed to be. Many people who claim to believe in God also claim that it doesn't matter what they do, either because they have no responsibility for their own behavior in the first place, or because God will fix it all up for them later. Other people who claim to believe in God also believe that they are responsible for what they do, and believe that they must behave accordingly.
Many people who claim that they do not believe in God do believe that they are responsible for what they do. Others who claim that they do not believe in God believe that they have no responsibility for, or control over, their own behavior.
The philosophical dividing line is responsibility, especially responsibility for our own behavior. Spend your time arguing about free will and responsibility, and leave God as a subject for theologians.
