I would consider myself an atheist. If you are an atheist, what made you become an atheist? Have you ever been looked down upon by people that are in a religion. A lot of my family are pretty religious, thankfully, my family is really lax. May parents say that they are neither believe or not believe because they don't know. I probably started to become an atheist when I really got into science. The two clash against each other a lot. So what is your story? Ever been looked down on?

I consider myself to be atheist, and in some cases yes, I have had some hate thrown my way for it.
I personally have no problem with anyone or what they believe, people are free to believe in anything they want to.
But its not for me personally. My girlfriend and her whole family are extremely religious, and we all get on fine. As long as my friends and family, people I care for in general are ok with what I believe, that is all that matters to me.

Most people here are; no one believes in the Antiquity Pantheon nor the Natives' gods and beliefs.

On my side, I'm an atheist until credible evidence of the existence of the supernatural can be brought forward.

EvilAlu : I too have no problem with people of a religion. They can believe whatever they want to believe. I've actually had friends that are heavily religious and nothing was different than a normal friendship.

I am an atheist, because I don't really find any real proof of God, and I have read the bible, but there are some stuff that are impossible, like Adam and Eve, you can't start a new species with just a male and a female or else inbreeding gets in the way.
I have had hate because of it, even losing some friends when they found out I was an atheist.
I don't say god is not real, just saying not gonna believe until someone proves it to me.

Christianity could be considered atheism because it took Jesus and his powers to convince them he is or was a god. The current day christians use the bible as proof which in a way makes them part atheist and jew cause they need something they can see or hear to prove existence. I think Christians tend to prove the idea that Jesus existed rather then prove God exists. Somehow they rap it up and claim he is the god which is why I can see why people don't believe it.

If you "need" something to prove existence then you really are no different then your counterparts because they too needed proof via bibles, jesus and or scripts.

I don't need bible or a photo or a scientific proof, I believe things on my own will. Now if I watch X Files and see aliens that might play an influence on my ideas but that will NOT be used as definitive proof or guide. Like I said, I don't need proof cause I just use my mind and make up whatever the hell I want to make up. If I say god is a tomato then god is a tomato.

There is no difference between Steve Jobs and Jesus Christ. It was their ideas and massive following that made them gods. If steve jobs and jesus christ had no iphones or bibles, who would care or give a crap about them right here and now? No one... but you can thank the jews for keeping it relevant while spinning a buck off it.

God does not need a product like Jesus or bible to prove himself. Only a jew would need to do such thing. The earth and life itself is enough proof, everything else is bull spun in money signs.

I myself am an Atheist.
I don't mind any religion, I just dislike those who enforce of their religious
upon other people. It seriously happens a lot.

Most the people who I know are Atheist.

I am an atheist as I have seen no reason nor proof of a god. If it gets evidented to me, I will believe it. I do however find the ideas of some gods (Anubis is a badass.) to be rather interesting. I like the stories based around gods, but the catholic/protestant/christian/etc ones I find rather uninteresting. The majority of my friends are Atheist, but there are a few who are not. Those ones are completely accepting of why I am an atheist.

I don't believe I am atheist .. I am a christian. But I don't look down on people who are atheist or don't believe what I believe because I feel like everyone should be able to choose what they believe no matter what that may be. I also have quite a few friends here on vizzed who are atheist.. they are the same as you and me and everyone else they just don't believe what you may believe.

I am an atheist and i have been on since i was around 13 years old. I see no proof to believe in god because science has been proven to explain every thing about this earth and the bible was wrote by a person. I have been looked down upon by preachers and other people who
have spent a lot of time trying to convince me to believe in a religion. I think that every person is entitled to there own opinion and should not try to force their opinions like religion on somebody else. Most of my family is religious and a lot of them know that i am an atheist and are okay with it. I would not care if they was okay with it or not because i am who i am and will not change for any body.

to put it quite simply...
i don't know.

i consider the concept of all that stuff to be just that - concepts. i like to learn about religions but i do not actively participate in any of them. beliefs are really not things that should be held up and judged by others because they are personal.

i do believe tho, that i worship bacon mostly.

I'm an Agnostic Theist, but often times find myself on the Atheists side in debates over religious topics. 
(oh..in case anyone is confused. Us agnostic theists believe there is a deity, but that no knowledge/proof of one exists).

I have, of late, been leaning towards Agnostic Atheism.

Oh..and to the question of "why are you an atheist", there is really only one answer...because to be an atheist you must have no belief in a deity.

Keep in mind, though, that there is a distinct difference between the phrases
"I do not believe in a god"
and
"I believe there is no god"

Atheism is the former. A disbelief in a deity.

I have no problem with atheists at all but can someone answer a question from me. I never heard this on a point of an atheist but if you believe there is no god, then how where we created? Just a question, not trying to bring Christianity in this or anything.

Roccoharde : It's just all science that we refer to. It has to do with evolution from apes. If you are talking about all life and the universe, well, nobody really knows for sure although there are a lot of possible theories that make sense. Don't worry, your not lol.
