The reasoning behind my atheism is more or less the same as the people who posted before me, but I will put it in as simple of terms as possible. I do not believe the claims that god exists, because I have never encountered, nor been presented with a convincing and/or compelling reason to believe those claims... let alone actual evidence to support them.
I'm not much of a fan of philosophy, either. It all seems like mental gymnastics to me... and I don't care how you word the claim that god exists, or what mental gymnastics you take to get there... none of it makes the claim true, nor does it give me any reason to believe that it is.
