Christians frame things as "All of the Christians are sitting here in one group, and all of the non-Christians are sitting over there in a different group."
And that's fine. It's absolutely true.
And if God exists and is the creator of the universe, that's pretty good for the Christians, and pretty bad for everyone else.
But if God doesn't exist, then the Christians are just all together in a group that isn't getting to enjoy their existence while the rest of the world is just trying to enjoy theirs, and the Christians are just trying to prevent those other people from enjoying their lives.
Either way, I'm surprised that the creator of the universe would organize things so that it would look that way from the outside.
The bible also says that god loves all creatures equally and since he created everything he should love every non-christian just as much as he loves christians. So why invest all the time if in the end, he loves you just the same?

Because doing evil is evil, and requires an evil person, no matter how they are.
Every individual is capable of good and evil, it doesn't require a specific person for it. In fact believing it does (and therefore usually believing it isn't you or your social group, but others) is a shortcut to inadvertently do evil shit without noticing any of it.
"You don't have to be evil to kill someone. You just have to think you are right." - Yoko Taro
Yes agree. But that makes a person not universally good. One could say evil.
So "god" being all good would not be able to do this because it is a human response to a human misdeed.
