or, you know, it's simply because most of us have gone beyond the need of a religion.
Please, tell us what this supposed "need" is? I don't feel a "need", I just accept what I view as correct. Are you so blind as to think that people would actually believe something if they thought it was false?
heroin addicts believe they're really happy and that it increases creativity. doesn't mean it's true.
which goes back to: you're delusional.

excuses excuses.
no results = no god. that's the way they did it in the bible and i see no reason for it to be different today.
As I said, Aspie-literal.

Ah, why didn't you just come out and say you were a supremacist in the first place? That way, you can simply be dismissed.

So you claim.

I think it's far more than a claim, unless you can provide a better reason why you people can believe the things you do with absolutely no evidence, common sense or one thing that makes these beliefs appear realistic at all.

Well then I can assume you think I'm correct since you haven't said anything against my post.

I went to a religiously-oriented school (I don't really know exactly what an American "Catholic school" is, but that's what you might call it, although it wasn't Catholic). However, I cannot remember ever having beliefs in God. As a child I thought that believing in God was something you had to do, and I said I did. But I never really believed it, and when I was around 10 I knew I was an atheist.
Of course, something like God is, I think, essentially unprovable. You can say that 'God is not like anything in this world' and all that. But I don't see any reason why that's a reason for him to exist. So I am agnostic but for all intents and purposes, an athiest. If there is a kind and benevolent God then I would hope he would understand my beliefs. If he is not like that then we're all damned, except the select few who chose to follow the right religion. 
.
To put in short: I am an agnostic, who lives in the assumption that God does not exist.

There's a name for what I believe, but I forgot it. 
Anyways, it's the belief that god planted the seeds of evolution, and there are some things he influences, but we evolved free of his influence.
