I'm not talking about pathological liars. I'm talking about people who are unable to believe but try to believe anyway.
I used to be one of those people, up until about 9 years ago. I tried hard to fit in to a couple of religious groups but was never able to suspend disbelief, and have never experienced what one might call religious faith.
The day I stopped trying to believe, I had asked myself the question "Would I testify under oath in a court of law that {insert name of any god here} was real?" The answer was an emphatic "No." Since that moment I've self-identified as an agnostic atheist.
