What religion are you and why? [I Love Researching Religions]

If you're atheist/agnostic, why are you as such? This could be a loaded question but im curious to see what you all have to say here.

I am an atheist because I've never seen anything divine and life so far is hopeless

@Jackaloftheazuresand what kind of experience do you think would convince you that a God does exist?
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@astrosandorbits I'll have to see an afterlife but even then it's iffy

@Jackaloftheazuresand I'm sure you've heard of the stories of people dying and allegedly going to heaven and/or meeting God. What do you think of these stories?
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@astrosandorbits hallucination but also not reliable as it's not verifiable

@Jackaloftheazuresand you're correct in that there is no way to verify them. I've always had a hard time believing those claims because it seems fishy when a book is written and mass produced with this as the main topic.

Just as other "meet" the deity they've been brought up to be believe in. The important thing to remember is, they're not really dead, there is still some brain activity.
