I do not believe in god.
But religion is something that can be argued until both parties are blue in the face and yet still no conclusion will be reached.
What everyone believes is realistically an opinion. Certain opinions may be backed up by certain theories which may be convincing but still are not, like most things 100% valid.
There are so many different ways of looking at god and why he may or may not exist that I don't even know where to start by explaining why I do not.
One thing I really don't understand is, if god is so great and god is love, how someone who say spends there whole life doing something worth-while, always trying to help those in need, generally caring for the world they live in, yet if they don't believe in god they will still go to hell?
Yet someone who lives their life selfishly has more of a chance of going to heaven as they believe in him.
This to me sound doesn't sound like a loving god, this sounds like a jealous god, a god who wants everyone to do as he says and as he wants because he is on some major power-trip.
I respect everyones religions and beliefs, and there is some good that comes out of religion , it gives some people hope in times of need, gives people comfort when they have lost someone , puts people on the right track and helps them lead a better life or help others.
But it also creates a lot of evil and suffering.
