BBtB... perhaps you're right about the Christianity thing, perhaps not. From my personal experience, many people think there's "something" between heaven and earth we can't see/understand; they just can't say what. There has to be "something"... they never can seem to give me a reason for that feeling (as is logical, it being a feeling and all...)
I do not belief in a god, period. For me there is no reason to introduce a mystical creature into the explanation of everything around me. I just accept it as given. Scientific theories go a long way to explain my reality, and religion doesn't seem to add anything. People sometimes say that religion adds a "reason" to reality, but to me, that's just wishful thinking - why should reality have a reason at all? If I want a reason to live, I might look at certain non-religious philosophies, but that'd be a personal choice, not a belief.
And no, atheism is not a religion, nor is it a belief. Rather, it is a lack of belief, an absence of belief if you will. There is simply nothing god-like to belief in.
