So what do you attribute your feeling on that there is no God to?

1.
There is an infinite set of possibilities. Monotheism exists among these possibilities. Therefore, monotheism is statistically unlikely. It's likelihood is infinitely small.

2.
Historians have shown us that many societies developed many different belief systems (including religions). Some, such as Taoism, do not even include the idea of any spiritual beings. Some are polytheistic. Most of these religions seem to be influenced and created to reflect the cultures they were created in. This leads me to believe that they are simply created by society and are unlikely to reflect reality.

I have no clue what reality comprises. I am just extremely sure that monotheism, polytheism and most other organized religions are not real.

Religion, in its accepted definition, is a subset of an infinite set of possibilities. Atheism is the belief that religion, in its accepted definition, is not real. I am an atheist.

plornive,
Interesting posts. Do you view your reality as a set of 'logical transactions?" throughout your day?
Can you explain your atheism in general?
Thanks

I agree with GX94 too. You have to have faith to believe in Evolution since it is not a proven fact.

Natural selection is a scientific fact. A theory becomes a scientific fact when it is shown to fit with real data in all relevant instances.

I believe in evolution by natural selection --- it seem extremely likely to me and I will make any relevant decisions based on this likelihood.

I don't have faith, I have statistical confidence. I open my mind to all possibilities all of the time.

I don't know what "logical transactions" means. All I know is what I observe. Maybe it is possible to simulate the universe with a computer based on logic, but I don't really know.

Society has something called religion. It is obviously something society created --- a tool (an outdated one). I don't believe in it. In fact, I think it is so highly unlikely, I believe it is not true. This is similar to the fact that I believe I do not have AIDS and I believe there is no eyeball floating in back of me. Religion has no special meaning to me. It is just an idea, and I think its not true.

I think it is likely that a particular conception of reality is true. This conception of reality would most likely not be considered to be "religion".

Evolution doesn't fit with ALL real data. I'd be more than happy to show you several instances. Cosmological evidence can easily conflict with evolutionist theories.

I don't have faith, I have statistical confidence. I open my mind to all possibilities all of the time.

you just contradicted yourself in that statement. Statistical confidence (if there is such a term) seems to imply that you base reality on probability and consistant outcomes as a way to predict. Well 'all possibilities' and 'open mind' are statements that convey randomness. where's the statistical confidence in randomness? If you're statistically confident that randomness occurs then your are 100% probable. So why not just say you are random in thought which implies no semblance to consistant behaviour that you could measure with statistics?
