By seeing so many people with so many different belief systems, and to see the diversity is knowledge itself, how people follow their intution.
Makes me wanna' Love the mankind.

haha thats so true!
i'll second that one!
So where does this view come from, if it is not your own?
I am also fascinated in understanding how an atheist thinks. I would disagree with you to a point about your question: If someone told you in dead earnest that they believed in Zeus would you be able to take them seriously? Most atheists think of God as made-up, as you mentioned, but what is confusing is how can so many other people believe in God? It is hard to compare God to Zeus in this case, because some many people do believe and this leaves room to question the existence of this entity. We know that Zeus is a myth.
Well, we do this year. A few years back we didn't - and it's possible that a few years hence we won't again.
Maybe it's just Yahweh's turn to be believed in at the moment.

Does the belief make the subject real?
My birth religion is Catholic but right now I really dont believe or have faith in it. I still go to church but that is because I dont want to make my parents feel like they failed trying to make me believe in what they believe.
Many of Life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up

Pentecostal Christian for me. Still am. I'm no hater, I just don't see how the world happened on accident. I don't know, but hey, look at it this way: If I'm wrong, so what? But if God is real, and I'm not a believer, I burn in hell. For eternity. That's not risk I'm willing to take.

I'm Irish and I was a born Catholic. As for what I believe in now... well, I'm not an atheist, but what I believe in doesn't fit into any given religion or belief. I do believe in some 'higher' power, but I wouldn't describe it as God. If I were to choose one certain after life that would seem the most likely to me it would be to be reborn again after you died in another body.
I was baptized in a Christian church. My religion? what is religion in the first place?
I was raised in a christian family, well my mom is but my dad was more of an atheist and today I am an atheist. I'm from Iceland..... and I regularly have a debate with my mom about how to raise my son,she thinks he should learn about God and then choose when he is older but I don't want to tell my son to believe in something I don't think is true...
