If god is omnipotent and omnicient he would have known I was going to become an atheist. And knowing this one could say he created me to 'populate' hell. If you don't except the premise that god is evil, then we are on the same page, that god isn't all knowing or all powerful, meaning that all religions are wrong.

With the usage of the slightest bit of intelligence religion will become no more than a fictional story. Your blessed with intelligence, use it.
