I'm an atheist, I'm pretty damn confident the Judeo-Christian God does not exist. Organzied religion is a joke.

Maybe there is a higher being....but no religion has it right.

In that case you're probably more of an agnostic than an atheist.

I know, I have agnostic views as well. Really just depends on my thought process at the time. But I'd still consider myself an atheist for the most part. I'm so glad I didn't grow up in a religious household.

I'm a catholic, who doesn't go to church (I'm not overly "religious"), but I do believe in God. Who he/she/it is, or what he/she/it expects of us, is anyone's guess. I don't criticize anyone for not believing, as I think it's a personal choice if you want to or not. What I do dislike are those who don't believe, yet feel compelled to criticize and attack the people that do. People of faith shouldn't bother non-believers, and non believers should let people of faith be. When someone proves to me how we all got here, then Ill stop believing in something greater than us all. i.e. God.

I believe in God. Didn't always go to church, but I beleive that each persons relationship with God is personal. What works for one may not work for another. But let me ask this. Would you rather believe in God and be wrong or not believe in God and be wrong? If you believed and tried to live a good life, you really didn't lose anything if you ar wrong. But if you don't believe in God and you are wrong .....

As nice as it would be to believe that there is life after death, I simply don't. I personally don't believe the evidence stacks up. I can't make myself believe in God at this point in my life.

I voted Yes, my beliefs most closely map into Mahayana Bhuddhism and Taoism, these belief systems seem to be in harmony with what we know from physics so far. IMO the universe is God in the act of becoming.

I go the any church. I find atheism empty and dull.

Go out, look up, say to yourself "how did this happen".......

Organized Religion and Bible Thumping Reverends should be avoided at all times ($$$$$$$$)

Watch a bug, say to yourself "how did this happen"

Never let a Bible Carrying Reverend tell you who to bring home to dinner, you and you alone make that choice.

Never Praise Your God After Killing...............

I am a pretty religious Christian so yes. I am surprised that there are so many atheists; I figured with all the people from Massachusetts there would be some pious Catholics.

Christian & Athiest At A Cookout:
Athiest -"prove to me that your god is real"
Christian -"prove to me that he isn't"

If God exists we will know when we die.
If God does not exist we will never know, the lights will simply go out, forever.
