Believe in and faith in God matters to Him greatly. Like unbelief in Him is like calling Him a liar. I think it must pain Him greatly that so many reject His great love. Truly their loss.
Hosea 4:6-7
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you [the priestly nation] have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
7 The more they increased and multiplied [in prosperity and power], the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.

This IMHO is where we are in America. America’s children are literally drowning in untruths.
