There are several reasons but the central thing is when I asked myself if I never believed in a god and was presented with the evidence of all of human history and what we know of the universe then told there was a good god that made all of this, would I believe? And my sincere answer was no. I then moved on to so what explains all the evidence best, an evil god? A nonchalant god? Or no god. The first 2 explain some things but not some others but the last fits every piece of evidence we have. That means what we are experiencing is just men doing what we can, with what we have, where we are. I immediately discarded faith and I felt a relief of being unburden of belief in what in seems like a dream and started embracing what is real.

There shouldn't even be anything like "Atheist".
You're the one who decided to believe in an imaginary creature and dedicate your life to it. I don't see why I should be given a name for not taking part in your delusions. But anyways, it's what it is.
Well, I don't believe in the existence of gods or whatever, so that's what makes me an atheist.

I'll tell you why I was convinced of the existence of God, first. It's a rather simple expression. You should look at a painting and know it's evidence of a painter. You've never seen Leonardo Da Vinci, but you know someone painted the Mona Lisa. And you'll look at a building, and even if you've never met the builder, you know there was one, because of the existence of a building. Same thing as the universe. I see all around me, a tiny fraction of the universe and I know that the birds, the trees, the skies the sun, the moon, how perfect creation is, I'd know it came from a creator. We can't be a set of random throw arounds, because the universe had to come from something. Order and design in the universe point to an intelligent mind.

The idea of 'atheism' is simply because mankind has always believed in a creator. The ancient tribes believed in the creator of all things, in a form or another. Atheism stood out, because you didn't believe in anything, so that's not my fault.
You could call my belief in God a delusion, but all logic points to a creator. Random coincidences can't have brought us to now.

Why can't we be the result of natural processes? Have you seen a god making anything the way you see humans making paintings, buildings and so on?

I've looked, and found no evidence of a god. That doesn't mean to imply that I know how everything works or where everything came from.

Frankly I don't, and I have more questions now than when I was a Christian. Nonetheless, I've found no evidence for what people refer to as a god, at least in the classical sense.

I think this is one of the most lame excuses for the existence of a god. In fact, I think it is more the excuse for the existence of millions of gods, since the universe is not one painting, but more like billions of paintings painted by millions of painters with millions more to paint in the small details like single planets and mountains and valleys and rivers and living things.

Then there is the problem of there being a god and therefore a god who created it, and another who created that god that created god ad infinitum.

What do you think?
