Atheists, tell me, a Roman Catholic: why should I become an atheist?

I have a lot of respect for you putting in the effort to challenge your beliefs

Any institution that frowns on asking questions and thinking things through is highly suspicious. What kind of God wouldn't want you to use your brain?

I've just always done what I think is right, and the consequences from "God" have been absolutely nothing. If he's sitting around tutting and giving me black marks for not figuring out which religious book to follow and then just doing everything it says, then he can fill his boots. Any respectable God would approve of what I try to do with my life, I would hope.
