I chose Atheism, which is not a religion, rather it is a lack of religion as I am sure that all of you know. I was born into a Christian home and was a Christian. I began to question my faith in junior high when I started noticing holes in the Bible. This questioning turned to doubt in college when I began to see contradictions in the Bible and when I realized that the Bible was at odds with modern science. I then looked to history and saw that Christianity is not a religion of peace but rather a religion of continuous violence. I then started to research other religions. I saw much of the same, an unrealistic stories, hypocrisy and violence. After that I began a deep soul searching, I realized while looking to myself, that I am incapable of faith. To me faith means nothing. I need actual proof. After more thought I realized that religion is a tool used to control people.
Losing my religion was a long and painful but well thought out decision that I have never regretted.
