I practiced Judaism, then Christianity. I don't consider myself an atheist or an agnostic, but I see the bible as nothing more than a book of fairy tales with a little history thrown in.

i dont see how everyone can say the Bible isn't true... or isnt worth reading.. or even worth a glance...because 1.) its not just a book...its over 52 books written by more than 10 authors... 2.) archiologists have used the Bible to find people and places from the past. they went there, dug, and BAM there it was...but still u cant even concider it...?? 3.) AND whether or not YOU want to except it, the Bible was the book that the founding fathers of ((God bless it)) America used to set up our laws & governmet...
now if thats not enough for even the biggest athiest to stop and THINK about what the BIBLE could mean... than they have to be the most narrow minded person ever. stop and think, would half the world really beileve in nothing?? ..who knows...
<3 just some thoughts...
((PS)) heres a pretty funny line from an awesome comidian... "So you're saying I should just believe in God so I don't go to *hell*? ... Pretty much." aha.

Practiced Christianity for over 30 years.
Read the bible, studied the issue and am now an atheist.
Atheism is the only logical choice.
To Redflag:
I was born into a family that was Baptist. My grandfather was a Baptist preacher. Becoming an atheist was a very long & difficult process because I was trying to prove what I believed to be correct.
It is very, very difficult to accept the idea your own parents & grandparents are wrong.
But, there is no other logical choice. The Bible is a book of mythology, Bible based religions are based entirely on lies and there is no credible evidence to support God belief.
And those are the cold, hard facts.

Yes. Specifically I was Catholic, but then that's a subset of Christianity, so it's still a "yes". I had been questioning my "faith" since I was in grade school but I didn't do any serious deep thinking until around 16-17. It's a long story, but basically then end is that I left the church and have never regreted it for a second.

Yes. I was a Christian until I was about thirteen, then I studied other religions for ten years. For six years of it, I was practicing Wicca, then I became agnostic, for four years, then...I came back to Christianity.

Wow, J.T., 30 years is quite a record! Only 8 years for me and I am so glad I left the church -- I wish I had never become involved with it. The inner politics and hypocrisy were astounding -- and this was in a fundamental, evangelical church where they did all of the "best" brain-washing.

I was raised as a roman catholic.
I began to suspect that there was no god at the age of 8. I could not fathom how a "kind and loving god" would have such cruel and vicious people as his representatives.
I was 16 when I finally left the church and never looked back.

Yes, I was a christian. Then I got an education and I realized that religions are all just phoney and rediculous.
