There is no reason to believe in God, simply because such a belief is unreasonable. The whole concept is alien to me - what makes "god" different from any of the other options I mentioned?

This pretty much sums up why I don't belive either. God is to me just as fictional as the easter bunny and santa.
To me religion is a mental prison in witch you take one answer to be the truth without concidering the others validity. You close your mind to one mindset and put up walls, roofs and fences made of fear, shame and guilt.
If there is one thing I've learned about this world it is that there is never a simple answer to anything. Religion gives you simple answers and therefore, based on my experiences, they cannot be true.
