It's easier to wind up with Atheism/Agnosticism just because... well, of the obvious.

There's been TONS of religions throughout time - everything from Apollo the Sun God to L. Ron Hubbard's "thetas". Do you REALLY think YOURS is the right one? Really now, you see nothing wrong with believing in some man that lived 2000 years ago that could walk on water and defy the laws of nature, yet you see nothing wrong with a supposed intergalactic nuclear war that took place billions of years ago by aliens?

I think the "fanatics" are the ones that won't even possibly entertain the idea that god may not exist and base their entire lives around a particular religion, letting a POSSIBLE made up story rule their only chance at living and experiencing life.. specially when it comes to insignificant things (for example, "I can't move in with you before marriage or I'll go to hell" or "I can't have sex/have kids before marriage or god will hate me".. that type of garbage).
