CMV: I am an atheist

I am an atheist, formerly of the faith, however a desire for more evidence based systems have left that faith lost, in favor of supporting evidence. I do not reject the idea that a god might exist, only that I don't know if one does, and that the supporting material I either don't believe, or I have found insufficient to prove the existence of such a god.

As I went through my studies of the bible, I not only dealt with deep personal problems that my fellow Christians handled, in my opinion, poorly, but I also came to the rather slow conclusion that the evidence for us being the product of evolution and adaptation to our environment seemed to me more supported and plausible than the support for a god. This then led me to think more critically of the material I was studying (the bible and various religious works) to see the actual message of what was being preached rather than the cultural reinforcement. Overall, I decided that the morally correct option was to leave the faith, however I am still of the mind that I do not know, and if evidence could be provided that was sufficient enough to support the existence of a god, I would take that evidence and review it and, if finding no fault in it, accept it as true.

If there were reliable, repeatable, peer reviewed scientific evidence for any particular religion then it’d be front page news and everyone in the world would follow that religion. Bottom line, every religion relies on faith which is believing in things without evidence. If you’re trying to determine fact from fantasy, faith can not get you there because you can’t distinguish one religion from another. There is no evidence in favor of any particular religion, you simply can’t test the claims they make nor the scriptures in any meaningful or scientific way precisely because they believe things without evidence.
