I just must write something to this topic. I hope this ain't gonna be too long...
I've been atheist whole my life. Of course I didn't realize it when I was a child, but later on I've understood what those feelings were back then. I never got the point of prayers and never had the feeling that there's some invisible power or force that had created life and is guiding my life. Although I was raised Christian in principle, I have never believed in any of that stuff.
It was a bit of a shock to my family (well, mom) when I announced that I've seceded from the church (I did that as soon as it was possible without parents' permission). I encountered some prejudice, like I must be a satan worshipper since I seceded from the church. That's laughable. How could I believe in satan if I didn't believe in god o_O
Well, anygays, that's my story. I must admit that I also hold some prejudice against certain type of religious people and don't enjoy their company. I have quite harsh opinions about religion, but I'm not gonna get into those, because I don't want to offend anyone.
If I believe in some power, it's the power of nature. It's amazing how this complex system, universe, has come to exist. I know that in this point many would say it's an act of god. I think that human is just too simple to understand this vast system and its delicacy. And too arrogant to admit that it isn't the master of the universe. The thruth is that we are but tiny bits in our universe, not the centre of it.
Whoa, that did get a bit long. Sorry ^^
