I'm not religious at all, but the reason why God allows evil in this world is to test the faith of his followers.

So essentially, he lets millions of families lose their children to terminal illness at a young age to stroke his ego?
Sound like a great guy. I think I'd side with the anti-god if that's the case.
My whole family is super-catholic (my parents less so know that we're in Canada) but I made my decision before high school that there was too much pointless suffering in this world for their to be a God that would be worthy of worship. My grade 9 religion teacher told me that my final exam, where I answered the essay portion with my explination as to why I don't believe in God, made her cry and called me a bad person for it, when I asked her why thats the case, I'll never forget how she was lost for words and told me to leave.
