Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

Because these are not any gods rules we are talking about.

And then use and ENJOY these fantastic scientific advancements every single day of your life?

The people of the modern world have evolved past all of that nonsense.

A belief in a god is not the problem.

These are man made rules - made thousands of years ago for the use of the humans who lived thousands of years ago.

My problem is that people who try to shove their rules down everyone's throats - including by physical force - DO EXIST .

And how do you deny hundreds of years of advancement in all fields of science?

Those rules that you are trying to reinstate are rules made by men who didn't know anything about the earth, nor anything about all of the other inhabitants of it. How can you not see that?
