Why do you believe God doesn't exist

**Edited the title since it was previously odd**

I used to fully believe there's a higher power. Yet, why do we give it MALE qualities and gender attributes? Why is there such a loving God that made us free will but expects us to be perfect and sinless and beg for repentance all the time (then throw us into a lake of fire after life)? Why is there suffering, innocent children dying from diseases while he watches people suffer from afar? Why are there people led astray by KNOWLEDGE and SCIENCE? If God existed, he actually knew about this and wouldn't let it happen. Just because we are questioning and researching only to find things that contradict a God particle, doesn't mean Satan is controlling us or leading us away from God. There might be something that created this universe, but this being so far, is sadistic, unfair and too controlling and expecting, narcissistic and wants us all to suffer for just wanting to live pleasurable lives. I believe some sort of afterlife exists, and that aliens and dimensions exist yet Heaven and Hell sound like Greek myths to me. How can suddenly there only be one true God whilst we have a billion more that we think exist.

I always started to question things, and because I have GAD/generalized anxiety disorder symptoms I tend to feel guilty sometimes for denying God's existence and anxious. Poor me.

So what are the reasons why you don't believe in a God?
