Because if your only reason for not believing in a God is because of your delayed realism to the "fairy tales" taught to you in some religions well that puts you in the same room as those who only believe in God because of the fairy tales taught to them.
The idea of God is more complex than that. thats why most great minds tend to be agnostic. because no rational mind can believe all of what these religions teach and at the same time no rational mind can deny that a creator is impossible.
The idea that there is a point in time at which the universe began to exist. Is mind boggling. The beginning must either have been caused or uncaused. It cannot have been uncaused and thats what keeps agnostics and people with no religious affiliation unwilling to commit to atheistic views.
And no I dont believe a man with sandals and a beard created the universe(s) but that doesn't make me an atheist either.

The hypocrisy of many religious people doesn't help. I wanna call myself a Christian but I was cheat on my wife, commit fornication and act a fool completely ignoring Jesus' principles. What part of the game is that?
Depends on what you mean by "Satanism", but according to some Christians if you don't ride with God you might as well be riding with the devil so I adopted this SN in a satirical manner. LaVey is a very interesting fella tho, I do adopt some of his philosophy.

Concluding that there isn't sufficient evidence to prove whether a god exists or not has nothing to do with boosting one's ego.Originally Posted by cartune

People aimlessly limiting themselves to chance and it rules in their favor it's "God" and if it doesn't it's Lucifer. *#*+ that, faith in "God" is mental disease....religion is a
cash cow that exploits the stupid. "Sin", is mental terror for the weak who are scared to explore horizons to obtain knowledge of self.
God doesn't exist
