Like the subject says, why are you an atheist? Have you been an atheist all your life (never pushed into any religion) or have you been converted recently?
I was a Christian for the first 11 years of my life, but it was something I was forced into by my parents and school etc. It was when I moved to secondary school (at age 11) that I started to doubt God and religion. There are just too many religions out there with completely different beliefs, it is impossible to know for sure which is "correct". I became unsure of what I did believe, but later realized that I literally couldn't believe that any form of God existed. You only have to take a look at the world to realize that.
