Without God, you may deny that you are a sinner,

...but you're wrong -- 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

Sin has consequences. --  Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sin comes short of God's standards. God is holy, righteous, good, and true; and we don't measure up. --  Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
But God devised a plan of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus. Separated from God, man can't get there on his own. Through the death of Jesus and His abundant mercy, there is provision for sin when he humbly accepts Jesus as His Savior.

The sinner is now a new creature, born again in Christ Jesus. He is saved from the wrath of God's final judgment. His sins are removed as far as the east is from the west. Jesus makes a sinners heart as white as snow. Salvation is God's love for man. 

It's hard chosing the right path sometimes, and society doesn't want to hear about God.
But Jesus still saves the lost, and Christians should pray that the Holy Spirit will draw them to Him.
