I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

How does it help to pretend anything if he can read your mind?

He can only read surface level thoughts. Any deeper and we'd be able to tell, proving his existence, which would make faith irrelevant and lead him to disappear in a puff of logic.
