I became an atheist because of the people on this website, and because of Ricky Gervais. I'm not smart enough to be a scientist or whatever else to prove things like physics and general laws of the universe, but I put my trust in them way more than I do people who wear a robe on Sunday and preach about crap that supposedly happened 2000+ years ago.
I really have no problem with religion, because for the most part it helps those people who believe in it, but it's just a load of poppycock as far as I'm concerned. I can't believe I wasted so many years of my life actually thinking there is something beyond my life when I die.
