God created the world because God is love (see 1 John 4:16). And love is creative, self-giving and life-giving.

The problem with many non-believers is that they have this idea in their head of a God that is not align with the real God of the Bible. The God we believe in, is not a bearded man on a cloud. God, as we can conceive him with our limited capabilities, is love, life, creation, truth, perfection, opposite of that which takes away life, love; that which is not truth.
So when you ask can I honestly cope or live without the idea of God, it's like asking can I possibly live without believing in love, that real love will want what is best for me.
