“Theres probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life implies that there is a struggle deep inside the heart of the formulators of such a slogan.”
No , it implies that no such struggle exists but even the most mild questioning of religious dogma makes people like you VERY angry!

It is nothing of the kind. I honestly don’t think that God exists. If I told you that I believed in a most just and powerful unicorn, you probably would not be persuaded to believe me. By denying the existence of the unicorn then, are you favoring evil? No, you just don’t think the unicorn exists. It is the exact same thing.
neither good nor …
neither good nor evil actually exists.

That room is evidence against a benevolent God.
If you are talking …
If you are talking about the guilt ociated with ascetic norms or “sins”, then yes, no atheist feels they should feel guilty for those because there is no point. We’d rather live by demonstrable societal norms that have actual consequences, and subsequently be personally responsible for violating them. Its an effort to identify and consolidate what elements of our beliefs are arbitrary, and reduce them to only neccesary arbitrations, leaving the rest open to free thought.
To deny the …
To deny the existence of God is to favor evil. The slogan Theres probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life implies that there is a struggle deep inside the heart of the formulators of such a slogan. However they are trying to shrug it off, because they want to find a way of escape from feeling guilty in their heart due to all the evil they are doing.
