Because God first loved me

I guess you mean "why I am not an Atheist" Well there are three factors that deter me from atheism
1. Upbringing, it is a factor no matter what people say, if I was born to a non-religious family it is likely I would be less religious
2. Good experiences with religion, I have never really had horrible experiences like some, just about all the religious people I know are nice, fun people
3. My interpretation of the evidence, everyone interprets the evidence for God in different ways. I guess I interpret the evidence as pointing to a supreme being, however, I respect those who have a different interpretation.
I could not really give you one good reason, so as a pun to my faith I will give you a trinity of reasons, all equal parts of the same reason.

Reminds me of a story I heard in a book about WWII....seems there were two soldiers in a fox-hole during the Battle of the Bulge, one an avowed atheist, and the other an Episcopalian. Both were good buddies. As German artillery started to zero in on their position, the soldier who was the atheist said to his buddy, "Hey, what's a prayer I can say quickly right now". Between shells, the buddy said, "You want a prayer? I thought you were an atheist?!" The atheist soldier said, "Yeah, but in times like this I want to cover all the bases".
When times get tough, I think anyone, like that soldier in the Ardennes Forest, turns to a higher power.

What have you got to lose by believing there is a God? If an atheist is right, it's not like there's an afterlife where they can brag about how they were right and the "God people" were wrong.

Atheists do not believe in God, therefore God does not exist. Does this make sense to you? How about: God does not believe in atheists, therfore atheists do not exist.
Life is just too beautiful to be a coincidence!

Becasue I believe in God.
Atheists EXCLUDE anyone who does that.
Maybe I should get the ACLU to sue them over that sad fact!

Why I'm NOT an atheist? Because I'm a brainwashed stupid ignorant idiot.

I am an atheist. Number one reason - no evidence of god(s).

I'm atheist because religions still some of their stuff from other religions and call theirs the just religion.
