i'm not religious because i just think religion is ridiculous and unrealistic. i am a WAY more scientific kind of guy. science just makes so much more sense.
this is an example of a dumbass thing that happens with me and religious people ALL THE F**KIN' TIME= someone asks me about my religion, (usually christians, because that's all there really is around here) and i say, "oh. i'm atheist. i just think religion is kinda silly." and then the christian says, "dude! but if you don't believe in god, you'll go to hell!" and i say, "how am i going to hell if i don't even believe in religion?" and then they or i usually walk away.

although i do find some religions as interesting stories.

same here. i don't hate religion, and i know it's important to others, but i just don't like it. i don't tell people off because they like it, and i'm okay with people liking religion, but it's just not for me.

Enjoy your stay atheists.

I'm a Christian. I'm not the kind that tells anyone they're going to hell, I'm not the kind that judges, I'm not the kind that... Well, let's just say joining the Westboro Baptist Church is something I'd never do.

I'm religious because my beliefs are worth believing in. Life just feels like so much more with faith.

I'm an atheist, I don't take anybody's crap about religion. Religion staunches growth, whereas atheism is great, it expands our knowledge and allows questions. However, I'd like to think there's some sort of afterlife, as there are many other dimensions to our universe (11 according to the String Theory), but not necessarily a "god" to rule that, there's no such thing.

Religion is one big fairy tale, people should realize that by now. How do you know if religion wasn't first created as an actually joke, and there were just too many people down the line of history to take it seriously?

I'm Agnostic Theist...

Do I believe in God?^^

Not really, but then again, when I'm scared...

I say "Jesus, please don't let the police find my stash"

Works every time! Hey, maybe their is a God watching over me! I should probably go to church more often

I used to be Buddhist but I'm agnostic now. I see agnosticism as the middle ground between religion and atheism.

I don't think I can be sure any god is real but, at the same time, it's hard to prove that god isn't real.

When the subject comes up I tell people I am agnostic just to avoid conflict, but I am for all intents and purposes an atheist.
I am convinced religion is more the work of man than any divine influence, which also may account for the number of religions
with often conflicting tenants etc. Also it seems unlikely to me that any God capable of creating a universe with billions upon billions of galaxies, would do so only to focus on humans, who's primary preoccupation for the past 5,000+ years since civilization has been finding ways to kill each other over among other things religion. Far too often religion is used as an excuse for bigotry and hate. (note: I am not saying these things would disappear without religion).
