Do most Atheists even break Gods laws?

Okay, here are the 10 commandments:

1) You shall have no other Gods but me.

2) You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.

3) You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.

4) You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.

5) Respect your father and mother.

6) You must not kill.

7) You must not commit adultery.

8) You must not steal.

9) You must not give false evidence against your neighbour.

19) You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour.

The only real difference between Atheists and Christians is that Atheists don't believe in any god. But there isn't a law about that. The rule says that we can't have any other gods but him, but us Atheists don't have any gods, so we're not breaking the rule.

And as for all those other rules, most Atheists don't break them, anyway. The good ones, anyway.

So I'm just wondering why Christians hate us so much?

I mean, we aren't breaking any of the rules, so why do you guys keep saying that we're going to hell?

Please be polite as possible in your answer.

Oh, and I'm sorry if I got any of the Commandments wrong, or I put them in the wrong order.

I was raised Christian, but I've always had trouble memorising them.

Update:

I just noticed that I wrote 19 instead of 9.

Sorry about that, guys.

Update 2:

Yet another mistake.

I meant that I accidentally wrote 19 instead of 10.

Sorry.

    You answer your own question. Commandment (1) is not just to NOT have any other god before God, but that GOD is your God. Claiming to worship no god breaks the second part of the first commandment. You shall have no other gods BUT ME.

    Atheist do not believe in a 'god' but their worship of their science 'as a god' and having the ultimate authority, is just the same as breaking the first commandment.

    let's see....

    1) You shall have no other Gods but me: Atheists don't believe in God.

    2) You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it: Atheists are known to be more intelligent than most Theists.

    3) You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God: Atheists do misuse God's name who happens to be not their Lord.

    4) You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy: Keep? No thanks.

    5) Respect your father and mother: Not all do

    6) You must not kill: I'm sure an Atheist as intentionally killed a plant, a small insect etc..

    7) You must not commit adultery: Sex, Atheists, Rock and roll

    8) You must not steal: Nothing is illegal unless you get caught

    9) You must not give false evidence against your neighbour: I don't know my neighbors

    19) You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour: humans are jealous by nature.

    The ten commandments were stolen from much earlier religions and related to other gods and an idol!

    Research shows that the reason humans struggle with emotion to find equitable solutions is pinpointed the region of the brain called the insular cortex, or insula, which is also the seat of emotional reactions.

    The fact that the brain has such a robust response to unfairness shows that sensing unfairness is a basic evolved capacity.

    The emotional response to unfairness pushes people from extreme inequity and drives them to be fair. This observation shows our basic impulse to be fair isn't a complicated thing that we learn.

    It therefore fully illustrates that all humans have morals controlled by the brain and that Christians are entirely wrong to try and claim morals as their own!!!!

    But Christians found a way round it!

    Government statistics show that christians are vastly over represented in prisons for sexual, violent and fraudulent crime!

    The Catholic church is paying millions in compensation for the sex/pedophile crimes of their priests alone!

    Christians are vastly over represented in the divorce courts!

    Christians invented the concept of sin and then the idea that you could sin, ask forgiveness, get pardoned and start with a clean sheet!

    So no surprise that they are so expert at it is it?!

    A Christian is a man that feels repentance on Sunday for what he did on Saturday and is going to do on Monday. - Thomas Russell Ybarra

    Our eternal damnation is an important part of their belief. Otherwise religious people are just delusional. So we must burn. Since their way is (usually) the only way not to go to hell.

    I treat people how I want to be treated. No ancient book or promise of heaven or threat of hell needed.

    Also, Gods law is the word of man, so impossible to break?

    Yes they do. Just imagine trying to get with a guy, but completely ignoring his sons existence. That guy wood not be very interested in inviting you in now would he. The atheists reject Jesus the son of God. that's a huge mistake
