I'm imagining...
So god tried to convince us not to war and he failed?
I prefer to think he's Old Testament god and just loves wailing on people.

For those who believe in god, what special knowledge do you gain, that an unbeliever can’t understand?

Do you really think that atheist cannot tell the difference between good and bad?

The ability to discern between good, bad and just. Believers tend to rely too much in faith and hope, but forget that they have the power to make things work they way they want.
There is a science in spirituality, that gives you the ability to stay who you are beyond the physical realm. This is not about religion. This instructions are hidden all over the world in ancient books.
Is not just about knowledge. Knowledge alone does not prove anything, is useless. But to put that knowledge into practice, that is where you start to gain insight of what is beyond.
Unbelievers will never understand why to believe in the existence of a superior eternal being that created us and the universe. They usually need to have the experience. But the knowledge is not for everyone. Is out there for everyone to read but not everybody will understand.
Mathew chapter 13:9-13
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Do you really think that atheists are in capable of understanding what Hope is?

Sorry if that was misleading. I meant that for the believers. They rely too much in their religion that everything beside that is bad. Most of them only work on their religion and forgot to work in their spirituality.
Really.
How droll.
And what spirituality do atheists have to work with?

Well if atheist do not believe in a spiritual being there is no reason for spirituality.
They can be good persons, law abiden citizens.
