Preface: I'm completely opposed to terrorism and the wider Muslim faith from which it grows. That said... You're making the assumption that God isn't real. I know this assumption to be incorrect. This assumption has some support that makes it appear more right than it is, for a lot of reasons. For example: Its regular practice for parents to lie to their children about Santa Claus existing and then for those children to later find out that in fact Santa Claus does not exist. It's also regular practice for people to make idols out of men when they shouldn't. Nowadays there is a tendency to have a lot of very clever people not believe. (This was foretold in scripture by Jesus Christ.( Don't be wise in your own conceit and think that lack of religion produces cleverness. Plenty of scientists throughout history have been religious. Moreover, a lot of the tools that clever people tend to use nowadays like probability theory were originally discovered by people who were religious. Take Bayes as an example of that. I suggest you read the Gospels about Jesus Christ and actively try to believe that God is both real and a rewarder of those who seek him. And if it feels like you're being asked to be an idiot please check out Proverbs. I don't think anyone can read through that and at the end of it feel that religion and understanding are opposed. And unfortunately the stuff about a Devil that deceives the world is also accurate. So if you do end up doing that make sure not to forget the good news.
