I'm replying from where i left. You asked for some questions. for ref this thread started form this sentences: (So, as an atheist, I think what could religion teach you that you could not have figured out without the religion?) I've answered 3 question and answering 2 more. You asked if god is powerful so why some peoples are week here and some are strong. So first of all AllAh almighty made Jannah/Paradise for living for human being. But evil(a creature of AllAh) wasn't agree so he said to his creator and owner that I'll always misguide your this creature called human and got permission till the Qyamat(a day of justice) for misguide humans. It's a long history so we can discus it later. AllAh almighty sent humans into earth for testing them that who is able to live in jannah. Like we say to our children who'll obey me or behave well so we'll take him to the picnic or at home of friend. we know some of our children make noise and some other bed thing so we can't take him to until he behave well. So this world is basically an examination hall. AllAh almighty here taking exame of us to give us power and make us week. So he can keep a record for day of justice. so at that day he'll show to everyone what he did in his life. Then he'll send good people into jannah and bed into the hell/Jahanum(home of fire) for the rest of the time. and then no one can die over there. not in jannah and nore in jahanum. Now we see some people are week here and some are powerful. But when we see deeply, so we see that week persons also have some powers, like week person is also a owner of a home, he had a wife and child so he is powerful for his wife and child and he also week for some other people. Same like our presidents, we see president is the most powerful person, but indeed he is not powerful in all the ways. He also has responsible for his gov and his country, he also gets tense and gets worry for next election and establishment and candles. he also afraid about his past if someone knew some bed thing from his past. Like we see scandles of trump and Clinton. So AllAh almighty tests everyone with all the ways,to give everyone power and weakness that when he is in power so what he does with other human and when he is in week position so how he behave. We can understand it like someone made a big and beautiful house with only glass and diamonds, so he'll want just those people to live here who can live in the home of glass. everyone just enjoy to live here and no one try to break it. And if someone says I'll not break it so he the owner of house must have to test everyone whoever want to live in this house. So those people who killing others and thinking they are powerful so they should be warned that AllAh almighty just testing them that how far they go, and AllAh giving them time for do good. This 50 to 100 years life is not everything. We human called the assistant of AllAh. AllAh the creator and owner of us and universes. AllAh says that we are his best creation ever. He also made Angles with light and Jins with fire. And we created with Materials، with solid things. English is not my primary language so let me know if something i couldn't describe as well.
