1) He is uncreated. Of his beautiful names and attributes are The First. There was nothing before him
2) He created jinn and man for no reason other than to worship Him. And why not worship Him? Why not be grateful for everything He gave us? Life, beating hearts, children, food, clothing, happiness, etc. and everything bad that happens to us alleviates some of our sins so that we come to Him on judgement day free of sin (as long as you affirmed that none has to be worshipped but Him, and you accept all of his prophets, the final one being Muhammad salAllāhu ‘alayhi wasalam)
No amount of worship we can do in this life is enough to make up for the blessings He gave us for free. In addition, we are REWARDED for this worship (which doesnt benefit Him anyway, only us) with a sweeter, tranquil life and eternal bliss after death, and He can forgive all sins - just repent for them
And the first sin to repent from is Shirk (polytheism)
Stop worshipping idols, other people (saints), prophets (like Jesus ‘alayhi salam), your intellect (by thinking you know better than Him), and submit to Him. You have no idea what you’re missing out on. I cant describe the tranquility when you fulfill your life’s purpose by submitting to Him, observing the five daily prayers, seeking forgiveness for yours sins, and so on.
Dig deep inside and you may find that you reject god because of some emotional reasons, not logical ones. Perhaps you had a terrible experience in the past you cant make sense of. You dont understand why He allowed it. And so you take it out by rejecting him and trying to rationalize it. The cure is to drop all arrogance and truly learn about Him, His Names and Attributes, His Decree, and why He created us
Deep down inside we all know god exists. It’s human nature to know he exists. Every child grows up to believe in Him without even having to be taught

I should add that worshipping Him is not restricted to ritualistic actions like praying. It includes going to work to provide for your family, protecting them, visiting relatives, inviting neighbors for dinner, etc. Everything He is pleased with, when done for His sake, is worship of Him
Even if you SLEEP with the intention of having more energy to work to provide for your family, that sleep is now worship
Even if you SLEEP with the intention of having more energy to work to provide for your family, that sleep is now worship

makes zero sense, the argument of a god wanting to create worshipers is one of the worst.

Say, ˹O believers,˺ We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants; what was given to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them. And to Allah we all submit.

But religions still give their centuries old outdated and disproven answers

You are using your religion's mythology to sell it to the nonbelievers. If Im refusing your god it means I refuse it alltogether.
Saying that there was nothing before him is a good way to evade tough questions. If he got created from nothing so can anything else.
Back when Greek Gods were 'around' when people started questioning Zeus the elites/ clergy made up the Titans. By the time people got to Titans that religion died out and humans created new religions that are based on a stronger and well-thought (not that well but still) tenets.
My reasons are all logical you see. Only 14 yo emos turn to atheism because they think its 'cool' or their reasons are "oh God hates me I hate him back" whatever. My personal problems have nothing to do with any God. I dont blame a God for anything
I kinda dislike islam because of its negative impact on my country, and that some of the followers are really hateful. I was lucky enough to born/ grew up/ live in nonreligious parts of my country but the hate shows whenever I have to suffer being close to them
In the end all this stems to the culture/ family you grew up in I guess. If we switched families you'd be the OP and I'd be the one selling Islam to you.

Does this wisdom stop existing in other contexts?
What would it look like if you organized your interests instead of taking advantage of privilege and only taking positions against you playing like those who created the privilege use
