There are two grounds for the materialist’s indictment of religion as superstition. First, religion is supernaturalist. It teaches that there is a spiritual realm, and supposedly embraces mythological explanations and magical practices. Second, religion is (in the materialist’s eyes) irrationalist, because it is based on dogma, faith, and mystery. Science, being based on the natural and the rational, is therefore held to be fundamentally opposed to religion.

Not a materialist, but the simply is no evidence or indication that god or any gods exist. There is no evidence for any holy book that shows them to be trustworthy sources of information about their deities.

I don't reject god, there has to be something there to reject.
I do not accept god because of facts and scientific data showing that, amongst other things, the bible (a book of fact according to christians) is wrong in hundreds of ways. try reading a sixth grade science book, ie carbon dating and dinosaurs.

I don't have time to write out a reply right now, but try reading Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion -- it gives some good reasons.

You can't ask any questions from the point of view that 'god exists- disprove him' you ahve to start 'there is no god- why should there be?' if you ask yourself this question you will realise god is a totally illogical conclusion to come to based on the evidance we have.
