Ok, so a lot os religious folk (not all so don't tell me I'm generalizing!!) seem to be under the impression that all atheists are just angry at God, so everyone please explain why you're atheist, try to be mature about it so they can take it seriously, I want to show them that we disagree with organized religion for what we see as blinding them because I'm sick of the "Can you really be an atheist" question.
I'll start it off. I became atheist when I was 15 although it started when I was 7 or 8. I asked my sister who is 10 years older than me a question about heaven and she said she didn't believe in it anymore, and I was like but what about God, and she said she didn't believe in him either. I did the natural thing, "But you'll go to hell!". At which point I started thinking. Religion really seems like a trap. They lure you in with promise of some grand place like heaven, then once you're in they doom you to hell if you dissent. Along with many other things, it seems like a lure.
