First of all I'm an atheist.
Second, I believe religion to be devisive and the excuse for lots of world and social problems
Third, I think the world would be a better place if people had to explain their actions without the exuse of devine inspiration from a supernatural entity(ies).
So, I will say up front - I cannot explain every thing in the world - there is loads of stuff I don't know, absolutely buckets of the stuff! But given that why on earth would I beleive in a supernatural super-entity(ies) to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and isn't it even a little bit strange that most societies have some sort of mythology to explain these mysteries and yet none of them seem to have developed the same one?
Go on, someone come up with a LOGICAL argument for their deity/deities.
Finally, in the absence of a sensible argument, and here's my motivation, if one person decides to question their supernatural beliefs - great stuff, welcome to the enlightenment!
