Why am I an atheist? Many reasons...

-Because I believe knowing the absolute truth about something is what we should all strive for in our lives. With religion it seems the truth is already known, nothing left to strive for.

-Because I believe religion devides humanity as a whole. It devides Christians and Muslims, Islamic people and Atheists, it virtually devides everyone who is not part of that sect. I think that if religion was abolished off the face of the planet, many people would see how stupid it really is to fight over one piece of 'holy land' or kill hundreds of thousands of people in the name of a God and his 'devine word'.

-Because I love science, and most of what science has already discovered to be true directly conflicts with what most religions teach, ex. Big Bang, Evolution, etc...

-Because the idea of there being a God responsible for the creation of the entire universe and everything in it is frankly absurd. I look at it from a subjective view and it honestly amazes me how many people have bought into any religious story throughout human history.

-Because I have NEVER seen anything supernatural in my life, not once. And I am confident in saying that I never will.

-Because the Bible (or any other 'devine holy book') that claims to be the word of God has more contradictions than a scitzo's autobiography.

-Because I value human rights over what a 2,000 year old book says.

-Because if a man claiming to be Jesus Christ came about now a days, the majority of the population would not believe him, and he'd be thrown in a mental institution, and the only reason the 'real Jesus Christ' wasn't was because we didn't have any such places back then.

-Because there is absolutely ZERO physical evidence to support religion.

-Because I know snakes can't talk and men don't come from mud and women don't come from men's rib, of which came from mud...

-Because Noah and his arc are complete bullshit.

-Because the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and it is confirmed.

-Because the universe is 13.7 billion years old, and it is confirmed.

-Because religion holds back lifesaving technologies that humanity could exponentially benifit from, such as stem cell research.

-Because people believe this outrageous story so much, they would actually give up their life before denouncing their imaginary friend.

-Because it is considered a good thing to have faith in God.

-Because religion is never criticized in the mainstream.

-Because nobody ever questions what they believe, they just believe it because they believe it...and they teach their kids the same shit, so their kids just believe it because that's just what they believe...and the cycle continues and we produce people like Jerry Fallwell and Hagee...

-Because I believe the promise of heaven from any mortal human on earth should be considered psycological torture.

-Because being gay is a natural occurance, and it is confirmed, yet religion says otherwise.

-Because religion never changes, never learns, never accepts new evidence, it always stays the same...

I'm sure I could come up with a ton more, but there you go for a start.

May I ask why you are a Christian?
