Is your denial/disbelief in the Divine based on a mistrust of religion or a desire for proof of the Divine?

MY problem is not with God.. but his Fan Clubs.
Too many saying I am going to hell for this or that and not that many preaching acceptance.
They kinda forget that all have sinned.. that means them too.
I guess it boils down to most religions trying to control what I say or do ( and how much I give!)

My disbelief is based on the fact that my life was full of pain that never went away when I had faith in God and practiced religion. As soon as I had faith in me, I no longer believed in the power being anywhere but myself. Only I can help me, and only I can change what I don't like, and only I have been able to make myself happy. If there is a God, then he has very cruel sense of humor, and I wouldn't want to follow that anyway.

niether. its based on the fact that the "Divine" is a man-made imaginary creation used to help people explain the unexplained and help them deal with their denial/disbelief that when they die there is no eternal reward, they're just dead. Humans are the only living creatures that are conscious of and comprehending of their own mortality, and religion, the "divine", heaven/hell, etc, are products of this realization.

We do not desire proof of a god.
I have already wasted enough of my time researching the bible as well as 15 other major religions texts.
All of which people claim are "ultimate truth" and yet they all contain totally disprovable "facts".
An example of this is 1 Kings 7:23 it describes what we know now as Pi and gives an absolute value of 3 instead of 3.14......

Is not mistrust or desire....we come from some where just do not want to label it with the god word...as a 5 yr seminary student....have come to realize that god has sinned ...he broke his own commandment ...thou shall not kill....god or ur Jesus was the main player in annihilation of peoples in ancient societies...all Thur the bible and destroyed the whole world in a flood...when u read the book use ur mind to see what is written and do not take out of context...always remember the book was written by man...and fictional character's...the Koran is the same ....read and understand and research...can't believe in what some one tells me there has to be more....

I know you're looking for Atheists to answer this but as an Agnostic-Heretic I can't resist. I don't believe in established religion at all...so far as the Devine goes I question that existence and seek proof thereof. Now I have doubts, but I am not Atheist so I don't fully deny. PEACE!

It is based on the fact that in as much as I was not around to see how everything came into being (and neither were you),I am not afraid to say, "I don't know ..... YET!" To assume that some god, my less than intellectual ancestors made up, instantaneously barfed the universe into being, is absurd

Neither. I choose not to be a part of it at all. I just try to be a good person. Is that not what most religions are about besides believing?

It is based on a complete lack of evidence.
