You ask athiests not to butt into your proposed discussion of what God
is doing these days, since we don't believe in God at all, and it would
be boring to read about how, since god doesn't exist, it can't be doing
anything.  I agree.  I won't.

However, you also ask why we ("who don't have interest in religion")
don't just unsubscribe.  My dear sir or madam.  If we weren't
interested in religion, we wouldn't be here.  I have two major reasons
to be interested in religion.  The first is that, like it or not (and
quite often I most emphatically do NOT like it) religion has had a
major effect on history and continues to be part of the influences
shaping our society.  The second is that I am interested in other
people's religious beliefs.

Besides, if I wasn't interested in religion, I'd be an agnostic.
