Ok, let me clear it up for you and others who think I'm a religious apologist (especially those Christians who gave me kudos on the OP, I'm not a Christian I'm argueing against Christian dogma influncing atheist thought).
I'm an atheist. My philosophy is currently influenced by British Philosopher John N Gray, that's not to say it won't change but at this point in time I find his ideas compelling. If you are familiar with his work then you will understand where I'm coming from (and possibly, going to).

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
