Too many horrific things have happened that were supposedly done in the name of religion.

It took me a long time to make my own peace with all of that, but I never really lost faith. I have just always felt a sense a purpose for being here, and I could never imagine a state of not being alive.
If you were stating that literally, you do realize that you are claiming that 93% of the world is not in their right mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism
Yes. And you would think otherwise?
The fact that you think Christianity is the truth despite the fact that initially 93% of the people even in societies that later embraced it thought chritianity was amoral lunacy makes it clear you have no problem writing off the sanity of 93% of the people if that suited your argument.
As it happens even real Progress is never initiated or initially embraced by 93% of the people. So the 93% of the world’s people is not of the sort of right mind that sees beyond trivial easy to embrace fantasies.
I am not a Christian. I think all religions are man made but with a very good purpose in mind.
