[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why?

I'm 23 and supposedly most my age aren't religious, but I don't understand how you can just say you don't believe in God anymore? Do you think you're more intelligent because you're an Atheist? I'm pretty free thinking myself, so I obviously don't let religion influence my thinking. So what is it about Atheism that is appealing to you all?[/quote]

Atheism is often not a conscious choice like picking the flavor of an ice cream. It's the natural state of not supposing that there is a god or gods. Most atheists have never had any good reason to believe in god, so they never started. As for those who did believe, and later decided not to, perhaps they realized that their previous belief was founded on mindless indoctrination and that there is really no basis to support that belief once they gave it some thought.

There are plenty of smart people who are religious, so I wouldn't say that I am more intelligent just because I am an atheist.

Atheism is appealing to me because it frees my mind from having to imagine things I have no evidence for.[/quote]
