Because the claims of religion are based on the premise that there is such a thing as magic....

As you are asking about God and not religion, King David inspiredly recorded:
Psalm 14:1New International Version (NIV) Psalm 14For the director of music. Of David.1 The fool[a] says in his heart,
"There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.Footnotes:
No. The definition of an Atheist is the position of rejection of ALL god claims. Therefore, an Atheist would have no god or gods
No. Atheism is a position of non belief in god claims. There is no dogma and besides the non belief in god claims, all atheists are individual. It's like saying sports is a religion, or "off" is a tv channel.
She claims to know Christ as her personal Savior. Only she and God knows. I am so glad God has been there for me all along.
You can'r as you have no proof. All arguments brought up by the religious are spurious or fallacious. If you could prove there was a god (have him jump through hoops or do card tricks at your command) it would prove to be pretty laughable example of the Lord of the Universe being ordered about by a schmuck.
No, It is not even remotely the same. Muslim is a culture following islamic tenents. Atheism is a rejection of ALL god claims including Islamic claims.
Not all Bibles have cross-references printed in them.

A lack of belief in God is called Atheism. Being an atheist can range from an absense of belief in God to the active belief that God does not exist. Only about 11% of American's consider themselves to be atheists (Harris Interactive).
There is a significant difference between praise and adoraction. Praise expresses thanksgiving for what God has done. Adoration revels in who God is. Praise focuses on deeds, adoration focuses on character. Thus a prayer of adoration prays back to God who He is. For example, Daniel 9:4 says, "And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, and said, 'O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him and with those who keep His commandments." God doesn't need to be reminded of who He is, but we do. It's for our benefit, not His. We need to remember that we have a great and awesome God who is faithful and merciful toward those who love Him.
The Bible tells us that Jesus the Christ is the Son of God, and Jesus himself made claims that he was equal with God and so we know that God is above all men in wisdom and knowledge. It makes no difference if a man is Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, or what ever, man can never be more clever or smart or more wise than God. If he claims this he is a fool.
This creation theory is known as Creationism. The theory states that God created the world in stages instead of all at once.
It is capitalized only if you are talking about the christian god. For the very same reason, all references to him go capitalized: El (He), Señor (Lord), etc.
