But my reasons are valid. My reasons are based on the fact there is no evidence of God. Unlike some people who believe without evidence (completely and utterly irrational - if there were reasons to believe something exists, it would count as evidence, if there's no evidence there's no reason to believe that something actually exists).
Of course people are influenced by the people around them, their family, their friends, their upbringing, etc.
But there are GOOD reasons. And there are BAD reasons. I don't believe there is God because there is no evidence. And the people around me wont' effect me NOW unless there's actually some evidence (or what I firmly believe to be evidence).
Of course people are influenced by their upbringing, duh. Kids are a lot more gullible for a start. They'll believe anything (look at Santa Claus (look at "God" lol
)).
But these 'reasons' are certainly not necessarily on even footing. There are good reasons and bad reasons...
..and for a start - evidence is a good reason to believe faith (lack of evidence) is not. Because as I have said, if you have valid reasons to believe that something actually EXISTS - then that would count as evidence. So if you DON'T have evidence - then you must have no valid reasons (to believe that very something; actually exists).
And if you are not concerned about actual existence. And don't want reasons to believe in that something's 'actual existence' - then why do you believe it without any valid reasons? You believe without valid reasons? Well that's irrational isn't it!
