First, I would like to say that I am an atheist. I don't believe there is a god and here is my beliefs on WHY people think there's a god. (I'm only 13 so I don't know if everything will be true)
I believe in the big bang and evolution theories and I think there's substantial proof in these theories.
In the ancient times, if people didn't know something, they'd make something up like mermaids (really sea otters ) and the earth being flat. So religion was born, it explains where we came from, and where we go. People don't like the unexplained so they use religion as a way of explaining things and also people are afraid of death so they believe in a religion. They use religion and heaven (or whatever their beliefs are) as an ultimate goal.
Now if there IS a god, do you think (directed at Christens) he would want us to follow ever word of the bible. The bible tells us a way of living, not exactly how to live it. I would think if there was a God, he would accept any good people.
